How to write this correctly with codeigniter?

Im trying to write a function to update password with codeigniter and here is the code

public function changepass(){
    $password = md5( $this->_clean($_POST['Password']) );
    $data = array(
       'Password' => $password
    );        
    $this->db->update('users', $data, array('UserName' => $_POST[UserName]));
}

this updates the database but still throwing a message

Severity: Notice
Message: Use of undefined constant UserName - assumed 'UserName'

how to prevent this message and also how to check whether query executes successfully or not and echo a message "success" in this case?

Change $_POST[UserName] to $this->input->post('UserName') as long as you are in controller. This does not work in model. CodeIgniter also destroys $_POST array.

$this->db->affected_rows() should return 1 for success.
