<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="changepassword.php">
Where is this file?
1. your code is a bit cluttered
2. Dont use REQUEST! Use explicitly either POST or GET
3. Instead of

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

use

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("Error:" .mysql_error());

and post error message you get!

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="changepassword.php">

What for that file ? You've all the snippets for that process in the same file. Is not it ?
Perhaps, your problem due to

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" [B]action="changepassword.php"[/B]>

How is it with this one:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
