I'm hoping one of you experts can help me out as I'm a little stuck. I'm receiving a ArgumentError in AccountController#change_password wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) when trying to get params([:user]). The params come from a change password form.
I can't pinpoint where I'm going wrong and the stack trace doesn't seem to be telling me much, or I don't understand what it is trying to tell me.
Here is the trace;

script/server:3
The controller (line 3 as i've shorted it):
def change_password
@user = User.find_by_id(@login_id.id)
@whywontyouwork = params([:user])
if request.post?
end
end
Obviously, the method doesn't do anything as I haven't quite got that far yet. @login_id.id is an instance variable in the application.rb file which allows me to place user information like username and role on the main page etc.
This is the change_password form;
<div id="list">
<div id="header">
<h2>Changing your password..</h2>
</div>
<p>To change your password, please provide both your old password and your new password. You must also confirm your new password so that you haven't entered it incorrectly.</p>
<p>Required fields are marked with a *</p>
<%= error_messages_for 'user' %>
<% form_for :user, :html => { :id => 'signup' } do |form| %>
<fieldset>
<legend>Enter old and new details.. </legend>
<p class="p">
<label for="user_name" class="clear-left float-left text-left">Username</label>
<label for="user_name" style="height: 33px;" class="float-left"><%= @login_id.name %><label>
</p>
<p class="p">
<label for="user_password_box" class="clear-left float-left text-left">Choose a password<em>*</em></label>
<%= form.password_field :password, :size => 40 %>
</p>
<p class="p">
<label for="user_password_confirmation" class="clear-left float-left text-left">Re-enter password<em>*</em></label>
<%= form.password_field :password_confirmation, :size => 40 %>
</p>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Confirm you are you.. </legend>
<p class="p">
<%= show_simple_captcha(:object=>"user", :image_style => "simply_green", :distortion => "low") %>
</p>
<p class="p">
<%= submit_tag "Signup", :class => 'form' %>
</p>
</fieldset>
<% end %>
</div>
Could somebody help me with this error as I am unable to find where it is coming from?
Thanks,
Paul
