After getting lots of angry emails from users that had the invalid token error, I decided to write a
new component to reset user passwords.

This is a free component that allows users to reset their password if they have forgotten it.

I never liked that users had to copy and paste the token manually. Thats why this component will send a verification link instead. Similar to the account activation link.

This component also tracks when users reset their password and displays a log in the admin interface.

It comes with a plugin that needs to be activated. The plugin attempts to replace the joomla default forgot password link with a link to this component.
