This functionality isn't present in the code. I believe one of the developers was intending to complete it but never got around to it. It isn't hugely complex if you wanted to engage a developer and contrinute the code back to the project.

PHP
<?php
// ... (Database connection and other setup)

// Handle password reset request
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
    $email = $_POST['email'];

    // Check if the email exists in the database
    $user = getUserByEmail($email);

    if ($user) {
        // Generate a reset token
        $token = generateRandomToken();

        // Update the user's record with the token
        updateUserToken($user['id'], $token);

        // Send a reset password email
        sendEmail($user['email'], $token);

        // Redirect to a success page or display a message
        header('Location: password-reset-success.php');
        exit;
    } else {
        // Handle invalid email address
        // ...
    }
}

// Password reset page
if (isset($_GET['token'])) {
    $token = $_GET['token'];

    // Validate the token
    $user = getUserByToken($token);

    if ($user) {
        // Display a form for the user to enter a new password
