Resetting a User PasswordΒΆ

The ownCloud login screen displays a Wrong password. Reset it? message after a user enters an incorrect password, and then ownCloud automatically resets their password. However, if you are using a read-only authentication backend such as LDAP or Active Directory, this will not work. In this case you may specify a custom URL in your config.php file to direct your user to a server than can handle an automatic reset:

'lost_password_link' => 'https://example.org/link/to/password/reset',
