Question

I have made custom login control for DNN (DotNetNuke). Now I am trying to implement the forgot password feature. I am able to retrieve password from the database using the code:

UserInfo uInfo = UserController.GetUserByName(this.PortalId, userName);
if (uInfo != null)
{
    string password = UserController.GetPassword(ref uInfo, String.Empty);
}

I want to send the retrieved password to the user using DNN.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sending passwords via email is considered as a big security vulnerability and really not recomended.

If you still need this functionality though, I guess you can simply accomplish this by sending email through SendMail or SendEmail methods:

DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendEmail()
DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail()

The SendMail method provides more options/parameters than the SendEmail method. The paramters names should be self explanatory enough to use the methods.
