Same Salt, Different Encrypted Password is not working? Using Linq to update password.

Question

Hello,

I am running into a wall regarding changing the password and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Here are the database values prior to changing the password:

Clear Text password = abc1980
Encrypted Password = Yn1N5l+4AUqkOM3WYO7ww/sCN+o=
Salt = 82qVIhUIoblBRIRvFSZ1fw==

After I change my password to abc1973, salt remains the same, but the Encrypted Password changes which is supposed to happen:

Encrypted Password = rHtjLq3qxAl/7T1GfkxrsHzPsNk=

However, when I try to login with abc1973 as the password, it does not login. If I try abc1980, it logs me in. It is updating the database, is it caching the values somewhere?

Any ideas?

I got it right after I posted this. I stopped and started the Application Pool in IIS and this solved the issue.

If you have fixed your problem by restarting the Application Pool, I would encourage you to understand exactly how that fixed the problem.
