In Band Registration/password reset problems

New to linux/centos and very new to ejabberd. I followed the online instructions and was able to my ejabberd server up.

The problem is I cannot get in band to work at all. To be honest, I would settle for being able to reset passwords using mod_register_web. Followed all the instructions I can find and have tinkered with my ejabberd.cfg file by adding everything I can think of under the mod_register and mod_register_web.

When I try to change a users password using mod_register_web webpage, I get an error stating "there was an error changing the password: Account doesn't exit"

All users (485) show up under web admin, which is how I added them (could this be the problem?)

copy of my ejabberd.cfg file.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. That includes insults, provided you have a solution :)

%%% ejabberd configuration file
%%%

%%% The parameters used in this configuration file are explained in more detail
%%% in the ejabberd Installation and Operation Guide.
%%% Please consult the Guide in case of doubts, it is included in
%%% your copy of ejabberd, and is also available online at
%%% http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/docs/

%%% This configuration file contains Erlang terms.
%%% In case you want to understand the syntax, here are the concepts:
%%%
%%% - The character to comment a line is %
%%%
%%% - Each term ends in a dot, for example:
%%% override_global.
%%%
%%% - A tuple has a fixed definition, its elements are
%%% enclosed in {}, and separated with commas:
%%% {loglevel, 4}.
%%%
%%% - A list can have as many elements as you want,
%%% and is enclosed in [], for example:
%%% [http_poll, web_admin, tls]
%%%
%%% - A keyword of ejabberd is a word in lowercase.
%%% The strings are enclosed in "" and can have spaces, dots...
%%% {language, "en"}.
%%% {ldap_rootdn, "dc=example,dc=com"}.
%%%
%%% - This term includes a tuple, a keyword, a list and two strings:
%%% {hosts, ["jabber.example.net", "im.example.com"]}.

%%% DATABASE SETUP

%% ejabberd uses by default the internal Mnesia database,
%% so you can avoid this section.
%% This section provides configuration examples in case
%% you want to use other database backends.
%% Please consult the ejabberd Guide for details about database creation.

%%
%% MySQL server:
%%
%%{odbc_server, {mysql, "server", "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% If you want to specify the port:
%%{odbc_server, {mysql, "server", 1234, "database", "username", "password"}}.

%%
%% PostgreSQL server:
%%
%%{odbc_server, {pgsql, "server", "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% If you want to specify the port:
%%{odbc_server, {pgsql, "server", 1234, "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% If you use PostgreSQL, have a large database, and need a
%% faster but inexact replacement for "select count(*) from users"
%%
%%{pgsql_users_number_estimate, true}.

%%
%% ODBC compatible or MSSQL server:
%%
%%{odbc_server, "DSN=ejabberd;UID=ejabberd;PWD=ejabberd"}.

%%
%% The 'admin' ACL grants administrative privileges to Jabber accounts.
%% You can put as many accounts as you want.

%%% ============
%%% ACCESS RULES

{normal, all}]}.

%% For all S2S connections used "fast" shaper
{access, s2s_shaper, [{fast, all}]}.

%% Only admins can send announcement messages:
{access, announce, [{allow, admin}]}.

%% Only admins can use configuration interface:
{access, configure, [{allow, admin}]}.

%% Admins of this server are also admins of MUC service:
{access, muc_admin, [{allow, admin}]}.

%% All users are allowed to use MUC service:
{access, muc, [{allow, all}]}.
{access, muc_create, [{allow, local}]}.

%% In-band registration
{access, register, [{allow, all}]}.

%% Everybody can create pubsub nodes
{access, pubsub_createnode, [{allow, local}]}.
