Thread: Reset community password somewhat broken?
One of my co-workers is unable to reset her community password. She gets the following response from the server: Internal Server Error Recovery key not found for user! If you want/need to look up her account on the server, the user portion of her email address is 'amy', same host as my email address... Thank You chander

I guess that error happens after clicking the URL mentioned in the email sent after asking for a new password?From a quicklook it seems that there is some insufficient URL escaping going on in that code path and it might be that failure/success in resetting might depend on the browser used. I will look into the underlying issue but it would be interesting to know what OS/browser combination is used here. Stefan

For now either copy & paste the url to your browser or ask for another reset (causing a new hash to be generated). Stefan
