The Reset Password page allows a user to reset the password for their account. In most cases a link is added to the extranet login page which will direct users to the Reset Password page. To use the Reset Password page you must set the enablePasswordReset attribute of the membership provider to True and the Allow Password Reset property on the Delegation Settings page to Yes.

The behavior of the Reset Password page is dictated by the Password Reset Template selected on the Delegation Settings page.

The password reset operation can not be used by accounts that have been locked out
