Any errors in any of the logs when you try this?

Yeah, that's not going to help much I'm afraid.

Okay. Shouldn't result in that behaviour anyway.

Quite possibly. Was this a fresh install using the Makefile.install to
get the required prerequisites?

If it was an upgrade, did you install UUID::Tiny (which would be in
the upgrade instructions, if we had written them yet, which we
haven't, which is one of the reasons we haven't officially announced
the 1.6.1.1 release, along with some regressions in the included
schema) and update the Apache configuration with the new pieces of the
password reset interface?

I would start with the apache log; the piece that is supposed to be
displayed when you click "Forgot my password" comes from the
OpenILS::WWW::PasswordReset.pm module

If you manage to get all of this working, you'll also need to have the
action/trigger stuff set up and running to actually deliver the email.
