Hi,
I am doing a site in Sitefinity5.  The issue is 'Forgot Your Password?' link is not working. Nothinghappens on clicking the link. 
What is causing the error? 

Thanks.

Dear Surya

Can you use Fiddler to see if anything is happening in the back?
Did you set all the needed settings in Administration?

This might be of help:

I am once again going crazzy over this

- Administration - Basic - User Authentication -> Forms
- Administration - Advanced - Notifications - Profiles - Default  -> set up
- Administration - Advanced - System - SMTP -> set up
- Administration - Advanced - Membership Provider - Default - Parameters -> set up

>> enable Password retrieval -> False
>> enalbe Password reste -> true
>> recovery MailAddress -> set

>> Recycled AppPool


>>> Admin - Basic - Newsletter Testmail arrives
>>> Reseting password in the backend works and displays correct yellow backcolor new password


However

The link on the login page to "forgot password" does nothing (no fiddler activity)

Updated version 6.0.4210

-------------
Every single time I set this up I run into troubles. 

What am I missing again ?

Markus

PS: If I only new which settings are used where :-)

Hello Markus,

 Are you having issues with the backend login or the frontend login widget? Do you see any console errors when trying to click that link?

@Telerik

Old thread: www.sitefinity.com/.../forgot-your-password-is-not-working-anymore

Fixed by deleting autogenerated file LoginConfig.config in folder App_data/Sitefinity

--------
Unforutnately my site has no such filte to be deleted. Any idea?

Hello Markus,

LoginConfig.config file will be generated if you navigate to Administration -> Settings -> Advanced -> Login and  enable one of the setting from the attached file. This file will be located in ~\App_Data\Sitefinity\Configuration folder of your project
