Recovered Passwords do not update in database

[MrXortex]

Hello.

I created a little recover page. Users write the email and a random password is sent to them. The random password is successfully send in their emails but when they login with the new password it doesn't login. I think the new password does not updates in my database. How do I fix this issue?

Heres the code: (avandare or avandaramn means 'users' in swedish

if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $inLoggad == false){
	
	//storing the posted info in variables
	
	$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
	
	$exist = mysql_fetch_array( mysql_query("SELECT * FROM anvandare WHERE email='$email' LIMIT 1") );
	
	if($exist['email'] == $email){
		
		//creating a new generated password for the user, if the user has forgotten
		$newPwd = genPassword();
		$newHashPwd = md5($newPwd);
		
		//send the new generated password via email of the user
		$message = "Hello " . $exist['anvandarnamn'] . ". Your new password is: " . $newPwd;
		$mailheader = "From: HighPload";   
		$mailheader .= "Reply-To: [email protected]";   
		$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
		mail($exist['email'],  "HighPload - Your new password has arrived!", $message, $mailheader) or die($fail = true); 
		
		//Updating the new password in the dB
		if($fail != true){
			mysql_query("UPDATE anvandare SET password='$newHashPwd' WHERE email='$email' ");
		}
	}else {
		$showErrors = true;
	}
	
	
}
elseif($inLoggad == true) {
	print '<script>window.location = "index.php"</script>';
}

?>

Thanks
