    <p>I am implementing a forgot password functionality in ASP.NET MVC4 but can't successfully allow users to reset their password.</p> <p>My MVC application displays a RECOVER password link on the login page for users who have forgotten their passwords.The first part of the application works fine and a mail is sent to the user ...but the later part to allow users to change their password is not working .</p> <p>This is my forgot password controller action method :</p> <pre><code>[AllowAnonymous] public ActionResult ForgotPassword() { return View(); } [HttpPost] [AllowAnonymous] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public ActionResult ForgotPassword(string UserName) { //Check user existence var user = Membership.GetUser(UserName); if (user == null) { TempData["Message"] = "User Not exist."; } else { //Generate password token var token = WebSecurity.GeneratePasswordResetToken(UserName); //Create URL with above token var resetLink = "&lt;a href='" + Url.Action("ResetPassword", "Account", new { un = UserName, rt = token }, "http") + "'&gt;Reset Password&lt;/a&gt;"; //Get user emailid UsersContext db = new UsersContext(); var emailid = (from i in db.UserProfiles where i.UserName == UserName select i.EmailId).FirstOrDefault(); //Send mail string subject = "Password Reset Token"; string body = "&lt;b&gt;Please find the Password Reset Token&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;" + resetLink; //Edit it try { SendEMail(emailid, subject, body); TempData["Message"] = "Mail Sent."; } catch (Exception ex) { TempData["Message"] = "Error occured while sending email." + ex.Message; } } return View(); } </code></pre> <p>This is my forgot password view :</p> <pre><code>@using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Forgot Password Form&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt; @Html.Label("User Name", new { @for = "UserName" }) @Html.TextBox("UserName") &lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;@TempData["Message"]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Recover" /&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; } </code></pre> <p>The forgot password view page allows user to enter their username. I get the username and email id and build URL and send mail to the user. This part runs successfully. Now user is redirected to my reset password page. Here I wish to allow user to enter a new password and update my database. How should my reset controller action and view page be?</p> <p>I couldn't even display the old password using the following controller action: (Where Am I going wrong ?)</p> <pre><code>[AllowAnonymous] public ActionResult ResetPassword(string un, string rt) { UsersContext db = new UsersContext(); //Get userid of received username var userid = (from i in db.UserProfiles where i.UserName == un select i.UserId).FirstOrDefault(); var yrpassword = (from k in db.webpages_Memberships where k.UserId == userid select k.Password); TempData["Message"] = "This is your user name" + un; TempData["Message"] = "This is your user-id" + userid; TempData["Message"] = "This is your user password" + yrpassword; return View(); } </code></pre> <p>This is the current view page of reset password controller action :</p> <pre><code>@model MvcApplication1.Models.webpages_Membership @{ ViewBag.Title = "Reset Password"; } &lt;hgroup class="title"&gt; &lt;h1&gt;@ViewBag.Title.&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;/hgroup&gt; &lt;section id="loginForm"&gt; @using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() @Html.ValidationSummary(true) &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Password Reset Form&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt; @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.Password) @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.Password) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m =&gt; m.Password) &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Login", "Login") You can now login to your account. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; } &lt;/section&gt; </code></pre> <p>I know it requires an update query but somehow I can't get it right.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
