[Question] removing account from serial

[kieran]

Hello, I am making my first ever serial based login script, how it works is the player joins, triggers an event client side, if a file exists with the players password, it gets that password, otherwise it randomly generates letters and numbers and sets that as the account password and makes an xml file with the password...

The problem is, I was curious to see if it generated secure passwords, good news, IT DID!  But....  It meant deleting the old one and now me being a fool like I am, I have the wrong password, and long story short, I want to find a way to check if the password is refused...  And a little info on setAccountPassword would be appreciated, gave it a try but it failed, here is my server code where I have the issue.

function getOrSetPass()
	triggerClientEvent(source, "loginSerialPass", source)--Trigger event when player joins to fetch/create the password
end

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, getOrSetPass)

function PlayerLogin(pass) --Carry the password to server side from a trigger event
	local username = getPlayerSerial( source ) --Get players serial
	local account = getAccount ( username, pass ) --Get the players account
	if ( account == false ) then --If the account does not exist
		addAccount(tostring(username), pass) --Add it
		account = getAccount ( username ) --Get the new account
		logIn(source, account, pass) --Log the player in
	else
    	--HERE IS WHERE I WANT IT TO CHECK IF PASSWORD IS NOT CORRECT
		setAccountPassword(account, tostring(pass)) 
		logIn(source, account, pass)
	end
end

addEvent("loginSerial",true)
addEventHandler("loginSerial",getRootElement(),PlayerLogin)

Thanks for any help.

Can't edit post, but fixed it, I forgot that logIn returns false if you failed to log on, just needed an if to check if it was false and if it was, change the password for the account.
