Hit and miss, I forgot my admin password today. So I try to press the "forgotten password" button and the system said "password reset email has been sent to your mailbox". However, I nenver found the passord reset email in my email box (even in the junk there was no the reset mail). I just want to know how to configure the gallery 3 sever end to make sure that registered users can receive the password reset mail when they forget their password. Tom |

G3 uses the standard PHP mail() function. Some hosts have shut it down or changes dome setting to make it not work. there is a mail replacement module that might help. There is a bunch of php scripts on the net you can use to test the mail() function on your host.

I am in the same situation.
I forgot the password too. I clicked "forgot password", received email with "If you made this request, you can confirm it by clicking this link" but once I click the link, it takes me back to the gallery to blank page, nothing happens.
I see the guys here with the same problem figured it out but did not share anything. Also, "floridave", says there si a fix with a module but no details.
I am new at this and need some help please. In the wiki pages there are some guidance for old versions but not for v.3.

OK, I figured it out too.
Go to: http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:FAQ and look for "I have lost my admin password how to login?"
