I don't think you should be sending the "Submit2" variable. If you
look at the page source, that button has an onClick action that does

   location.href='page.jsp?name=forgetPassword'

which would make a browser immediately take you to a different page.
Similarly with "action" - that's a button that pops up a new window
for a new user to register.

You definitely need to try something like LiveHTTPHeaders and find out
for sure what gets sent.
