Question

I’d like users to be be able to reset their passwords via a link on my site. I’m trying to use the built in django password reset form, but having a little difficulty. I have the following included in my urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/password_reset/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset', name='admin_password_reset'),
    url(r'^admin/password_reset/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done'),
    url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm'),
    url(r'^reset/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

I access the link in the following way:

<h3><a href="{% url 'password_reset' %}">Forgot your password?</a></h3>

I’ve also tried including it like this:

{% url django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm uid, token %}
{% url django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm uidb36=uid, token=token %}

I get the following error:

NoReverseMatch at /account/
Reverse for 'password_reset' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

I’ve tried a bunch of different tings without any luck. Do I need to pass in the uid/token? If so, how do I define them?

Thank you for your help

Your url is named admin_password_reset

<h3><a href="{% url 'admin_password_reset' %}">Forgot your password?</a></h3>
