Controller

    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $id = 1;
        $model = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('usertype' => $id));
        $model->setScenario('changePwd');

        if (isset($_POST['User'])) {
            $model->attributes = $_POST['User'];
            if ($model->validate()) {
                $model->password = md5($model->new_password);
                if ($model->save()) {
                    Yii::app()->user->setFlash('success', "Password Changed Successfully!");
                }

             } else {
                 Yii::app()->user->setFlash('error', "Change Password failed!");
             }
         }

      $this->render('index', array('model' => $model)); 
   }

Model

    class User extends CActiveRecord
{
    public $old_password;
    public $new_password;
    public $repeat_password;
    /**
     * @return string the associated database table name
     */
    public function tableName()
    {
        return '{{user}}';
    }

    /**
     * @return array validation rules for model attributes.
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        // NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
        // will receive user inputs.
        return array(
            array('usertype, firstname, lastname, email, password, mobile, gender, dob, country, area, city, address, street, housenumber, extradirection, createdon', 'required'),
            array('usertype, country, area', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),
            array('firstname, lastname, email, mobile, dob, city, street, housenumber', 'length', 'max'=>155),
            array('password', 'length', 'max'=>225),
            array('gender', 'length', 'max'=>6),
            array('status', 'length', 'max'=>1),
            array('updatedon', 'safe'),
            // The following rule is used by search().
            // @todo Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
            array('id, usertype, firstname, lastname, email, password, mobile, gender, dob, country, area, city, address, street, housenumber, extradirection, createdon, updatedon, status', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),
            array('old_password, new_password, repeat_password', 'required', 'on' => 'changePwd'),
            array('old_password', 'findPasswords', 'on' => 'changePwd'),
            array('repeat_password', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'new_password', 'on'=>'changePwd'),
        );
    }

public function findPasswords($attribute, $params)
    {
        $user = User::model()->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id);
        //echo '<pre>';print_r($user);echo '</pre>';
        if ($user->password != md5($this->old_password))
            $this->addError($attribute, 'Old password is incorrect.');
    }

Form

    <div class="login_con_new"> 
    <div class="form">                  
        <?php    
        $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
        'id'=>'change-password-form',   
        //'action' => Yii::app()->createUrl('login/authenticate'), 
        // 'enableAjaxValidation' => FALSE,
        'enableClientValidation' => true,
        'clientOptions' => array('validateOnSubmit' => true,),
        'htmlOptions' => array(
        'class' => 'form',
        )
        ));  
        ?>  
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <h2 class="title">Change Password</h2> 
            <?php
    foreach(Yii::app()->user->getFlashes() as $key => $message) {
        echo '<div class="flash-' . $key . '">' . $message . "</div>\n";
    }
?>
            <div class="form-group">             
            <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'Current_password'); ?>
            <?php echo $form->passwordField($model,'old_password',array('class'=>'form-control login-field','size'=>60,'maxlength'=>222)); ?>
            <?php echo $form->error($model,'old_password'); ?>  
            </div>
            <div class="form-group"> 
            <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'new_password'); ?>
            <?php echo $form->passwordField($model,'new_password',array('class'=>'form-control login-field','size'=>60,'maxlength'=>222)); ?>
            <?php echo $form->error($model,'new_password'); ?> 
            </div> 
            <div class="form-group"> 
            <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'repeat_password'); ?>
            <?php echo $form->passwordField($model,'repeat_password',array('class'=>'form-control login-field','size'=>60,'maxlength'=>222)); ?>
            <?php echo $form->error($model,'repeat_password'); ?> 
            </div>          
            <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-lg-4" style="padding-left: 0px;">
            <?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Change',array('class' => 'btn btn-success','style'=>'color:white')); ?></div>  
        </div>      
    </div>
    <?php  $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div>      </div> 

The $valid returns me false and entering the else part.

I think in this line $model = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('usertype' => $id)); you did the mistake for usertype. This is user id.
