    if request.post?

       @user.password = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(params[:password][:password]) 
    if @user.save
        redirect_to :action => 'profile'
        flash[:status] = "Your password was changed. Next time you sign in use your new password."

    validates :password, confirmation: true

Is it too late to simply use has_secure_password? You can learn about it in this RailsCast:

http://railscasts.com/episodes/270-authentication-in-rails-3-1

I'm not sure why you have if request.post?. Isn't that already determined by your route?

According to the documentation for validates_confirmation_of, I think you might need to add:

validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_changed?

Here's the documentation:

http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveModel/Validations/HelperMethods/validates_confirmation_of

The documentation seems to indicate that you don't need attr_accessible :password_confirmation either.

I hope that helps.
