Hi,

i’m getting the results like:

user=User.all  
and i want to convert the user records to yaml so i used user.to\_yaml,

i got the yml file thats nice, but before converting into yaml i need to  
change some values of user records

like  
puts user[0].password  
it shows “vamsi”  
but i want to change the password like(example) “%^@#A]//-0” some thing  
like encryption.  
for that i cahnged it as  
user[0].password="%^@#A]//-0"

and after that i put user.to\_yaml

and in the yml file i saw  
password: %^@#A]//-0

after that changed\_attributes:  
password: vamsi

how could i remove the changed\_attributes , as i don’t want to show the  
password like vamsi.

Thanks  
Vamsi.
