Magento Password Reset Link

Just fixed the same problem on an upgraded 1.6.1.0 site - You are using an out of date customers.xml, diff your copy and app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml to find the changes that need doing

may i have your code to debug if you use

$customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer");
         $customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId());
         $customer->getPassword();

it wont work. password will be encrypted in the database. so you cant make use of it. the only way is generating new password and update it in the database and send the new password to the user mail.

sample code to generate custom password

$alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWXYZ0123456789";     //Random password generation
             $pass = array(); //remember to declare $pass as an array
             $alphaLength = strlen($alphabet) - 1; //put the length -1 in cache
             for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++) {
                 $n = rand(0, $alphaLength);
                 $pass[] = $alphabet[$n];
             }
             $newpassword =implode($pass);
