This is not a U-boot issue; this is an issue with the operating system 
(at large) to which U-boot transfers control. If you are the designer of 
the OS, then you're basically the boss and you should check why your 
permanent storage does not keep the new password; if you use a 
predesigned OS, turn to the designers for assistance.

Amicalement,
