Looking at Data Validation - 2.x your last rule seems off.

'custom'=>array(
	'rule' => 'custom','/^[\W]+$/',1,
	'allowEmpty'=>false,
	'message' => 'Password must have at least one special character.'
)

should be more like

'custom'=>array(
	'rule' => '/^[\W]+$/',
	'allowEmpty'=>false,
	'message' => 'Password must have at least one special character.'
)

or according to Data Validation - 2.x

'custom'=>array(
	'rule' => array('custom', '/^[\W]+$/'),
	'allowEmpty'=>false,
	'message' => 'Password must have at least one special character.'
)

But I never used CakePHP 2 (and it is EOL, so you should look into an upgrade :wink: )
