Every website that uses username & password have a
"forget password" functionality to retrieve users passwords, and same
thing also in the Oracle E-Business Suite.
This is a very useful functionality since it reduces the
number of SR's opened to the helpdesk team regarding login problems and
moreover satisfying the customers which can get a new password in a very short
time with no helpdesk intervention.
The implementation of this functionality is very
simple.
Ø To enable
it we should do the following:
Step 1 : Set the profile "Local Login Mask" to the
current value plus 8 (e.g. current value is 32 -> set value to 40).
Step 2 : Bounce Apache.
The "Local Login Mask" profile used to customize
some attributes of the login page (AppsLocalLogin.jsp), one of them is the
"forgot your password" link.
We should set the value of this profile to the sum of all
attribute's mask values we are interested in.

If we set the Forgot Password link mask value, it will add
the following TIP to the login page.
Ø The reset
password process:
Step 1: Click on "Forgot your password?" link will ask
for a username for which, we need to reset the password.
Step 2 : After typing the username and click OK, a new workflow
process is started (Item type UMXUPWD) and we'll get this confirmation message
,as shown below:
Step 3 : We'll get this below email -
"Password reset required approval".
Step 4 : Click on "Approve"
to confirm you are interested in a new password.
Step 5 : We'll get an email with a temporary password which we
have to change on first login.
