I think that I have it logically but it says that Task 1 is not passing now. I would truly appreciate help! Thank you.
from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash

User.password = generate_password_hash('a_string')
return User
def validate_password(User, a_string):

Oh and for the call to the generate_password_hash method in your set_password function, you're passing in an explicit string with the text a_string, rather than the value of the parameter passed into the set_password function... You should remove the single quotes from that.
