Ok, that's a point, but it should be clear to the user that a new
password is generated and that DokuWiki won't sent the original
password. The text should be changed from:
"Forgotten your password? Get it resent: Resend password"
to
"Forgotten your password? Get a new one: Send new password"
The text in the next dialog pointed already out that a "new" password
will be generated and the original one is lost.
I would prepare a patch if you agreed. In this case I would update the
german language files as well.
Best Regards
Matthias
