If the setup of the internal email account details (for sending password-related messages) is incorrect, the following misbehavior will occur when a user selects "reset password": the password is actually reset but the sending of the email to the user will fail, so the user won't get the new password.

See Server.resetUserPassword(String username).

Using MMI Portal 1.9.4.alpha (20100617134902)

Server.resetUserPassword: Part of the fix is to first check that the mail account parameters are given. This part is now implemented. Module iserver version 1.9.4.alpha

Additional handling including a message like "please try again later ..if the problem persists contact the administrator." But note that the likely problem is actually from inappropriate configuration.
