two questions about Auth component

Hi everyone,

I need help..., I am using the Auth component in cake, but I
encountered two issues so far and couldn't find good answers, shed me
some light please.

1) Register issue:

I set up some validation rules for the password field in my user
model, so if the password user provided doesn't comply my rule, the
user will be redirected to the registration page with error message.
Everything is fine except that the password will still be displayed in
the password text field (with bullet points), and it's a very long row
of bullet points because of the encryption. I don't want the user see
the confusing long bullet points. How can I make the password field
empty??

2) Reset password issue:

In my site, I allow user reset their password by typing the email in a
text box, then the script will generate an email with a link, the
users click on the link and they will be taken to a page to reset
their password.

The issue is when the user finished resetting the password, I redirect
the user to the login page. However, when the user logs in, because
the "Auth Component" always redirects you to the page where you were
linked to the login page (autoDirect is on), the user now will always
be redirected back to the "reset password" page.

So how can I make the user be redirected to another page (e,g.
homepage), after they have logged in. I don't want to turn the
"autoRedirect" off, because for most of the time, this is helpful.

Thanks thousand times for your patience reading my long post, any
implication will be really appreciated!!!

-David
