As you have seen here we can send the lost password to the email address of the member. But if the password is encrypted and stored then we can't retrieve the lost password, so we will generate one activation key and ask the member to use that to reset the forgot password.

Hi ahm is this script running 100%? coz ahm i will be using this script |
Nathan | 15-08-2012 |
I used the script above (I am not encrypting at this time). However, when I place my email address in my forgot password form, I receive the message "Your email address is not correct". I checked the database and my email address is there. Help! |

The checking of email address is done by ensuring presence of @ and . in you email address. So it should work. Just try to print once above the checking conditions. |

Martin Britton | 29-04-2013 |
My database has multiple tables in it. How do I get the script to access the right table? It keeps returning saying email address is not correct even though it is. |

I have tried and tried to make this script work in our website however, it keeps displaying "There is some system problem in sending login details to your address. Please contact site-admin." Please HELP! |

Contact your host asking about sending mail. Or Just check if mail function is working in your site or not. |
