[JSP] Forgot Password in Login
 

I'm a beginner trying to create a login page using JSP and MySQL. I've created my pages and have them connecting perfectly between the database and my server. The only thing left to add to my page is the forgot password link in the login page. Unfortunately I don't know how to do it.

I tried google but it just keeps sending me to sites that have this functionality (like every freaking login site). Does anyone know the code or know a site where I can find this info?

Thanks in advance.

depends on how you want it yourself ... if a user registered you should have an email adress of the user, and lets asume you have stored the user's password as plaintext in only have to send his password back to the user, but storing unencrypted passwords is not the correct way to go, try hashing them or something

this might help too:

i have all the users information in the database, including the password. all i need is a query statement go get that password and email it to the user, right?
