Undefined index

I'm still goofing with forms, ajax, validation, etc. trying to learn Cake. 

I have a form set up with a field for password    [code]   $form->input('User.password');   [/code]

When I reference that field in the controller [code]   $pw1 = $this->data['User']['password'];    [/code]

I keep getting "undefined index for password." It looks okay, what else could be the issue ? 

Also, I thought I had the ajax helper figured out for the most part but there is still one field that just refuses to cooperate. 

[code]

echo $html->tableCells(array('Username:', $form->input('User.username', array('label' => '')), '<div id="nameAvail"></div>'));

echo $ajax->observeField('UserUsername', array('url' => 'checkUsername', 'update' => 'nameAvail'));

[/code]
