Just a technique. Replace variables with form's variable and Update Query according to your table structure

<?php
$pass = $_POST['password'];
$rpass = $_POST['repeatpassword'];
if($pass==$rpass){
	$query = "UPDATE QUERY HERE";
	mysql_query($query);
}

?>

When using passwords, make sure you encrypt it. Saving raw passwords is not only bad practice, it's wrong. An extra security measure would be to encrypt the password before sending it VIA POST. This is easily done by using javascript, you never want to submit the raw password.

Just some advice to add a little security.
