Reset password function does not work properly on opensource-network.org

Oliver Mankewitz Posted in Technical Support 5 years ago

OSSN throws an error while trying to reset the password after clicking the link in the e-mail was sent.

Errormessage: Cannnot reset password. Please try again later.

I tried. Several times... ;)

Just an information.
I dont need any further help right now, bcause I remembered my password. Obviously....

Regards,
Oliver

Thank you for explanation, i have looked into it and the password reset function works fine.

  1. Reset password.
  2. You receive email.
  3. Click on email
  4. Enter different / new password.
  5. Save,

After this i was able to login into account with new password, i have tested this with new test account and it worked. So it looks like there something wrong with password, pattern etc.

Hi, Arsalan!

Yes, youre right. I forgot my password, and used the reset password function to reset it.
I received the verification/activation eMail and clicked the given link.
Than, I had to give a new pass which wasnt functioning. The errormessage appeared.
I tried some times but than remembered my old pass so I could login. Thats all I know.

Regards,
Oliver
