sign up issues rails

I am currently working on the build a simple ruby on rails app. I am at the point where i can get the users/sign_up page, however whenever i hit sign up, i get this error:

    Can't mass-assign protected attributes: email, password, password_confirmation

    {"utf8"=>"?",
     "authenticity_token"=>"yEcNIsbuzGc44hS+T19eq/YOTB8BSbv1g2GG8luDL+4=",
     "user"=>{"email"=>"joererser@gmail.com",
     "password"=>"[FILTERED]",
     "password_confirmation"=>"[FILTERED]"},
     "commit"=>"Sign up"}

Any ideas?

In your User model, type in the following:

attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation

We work through it in the videos, hope that helps!
