    Not Working - Forgotten Password? Link Umbraco 7.5.6

    Hi,

    I am having an issue with a new feature in Umbraco v 7.5.6. I am testing the "Forgotten Password?" link when trying to log in to Umbaco, and when I request that a reset password link be sent to my email, I get the following error:

    "Request password reset failed for email -------"

    enter image description here

    Any insight into this would be helpful. Otherwise I am enjoying the upgrade!

    Thanks, Brian

    Yeah, I tried using my email address to get the password and I didn't see anything come through my email. Since I'm just learning, I just started all over again since I was not that far into my project the first time. :(

    Some possibilities:

    • SMTP is configured incorrectly in the web.config.
    • A firewall is blocking SMTP traffic.
    • Your email address contains a domain that Umbraco is rejecting due to a faulty regex.

    By the way, if you really can't get the password reset working, you could use this (assuming you have file system access) to reset the password on the root account: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-admin-reset/

    I do have file system access as I installed the site, and control the project. I just would like the functionality to work for end users, it isn't an access problem. I can log in to the back office. Just want to make that clear. I will explore your other options, but Umbraco Forms is sending email, so I don't believe it is an SMTP issue.

    Be sure you have a correctly configured default sender email address in ~/config/umbracoSettings.config. Umbraco Forms allows you to specify a sender email separately, which might explain why it works there but not for other functionality.

    Excellent, thank you very much Nicholas. I actually didn't have a from="" specified in my SMTP settings in my web.config which was causing the error. Because it didn't have that default email address, Umbraco was throwing an error. Works like a charm now!
