Forgot password should not lock the account

[totalizator]

Hi,
Clicking "Forgot password" locks the account and this just wrong IMHO. The expected behavior should be that an email with password reset link is sent and that's all.

I understand that you can disable the password reset feature but this is not the case.

Any chance that this can be changed to no lock, send only?

There is also somebody on discord asking for a changed behavior, he wanted to create a PR for this.

I just hit this. Can the user be unlocked, if it's the only admin? I welcome all tips & tricks since my password auto-expired (whole new problem TBH) and I accidently clicked this and now even changing my pass via execing into the service does not unlock me.

EDIT: THIS works -

If you lock yourself out or forget a password, you will need to specify the app.db similar to this: docker exec -it calibre-web python3 /app/calibre-web/cps.py -p /config/app.db -s : If you fail to specify the proper db, it will appear to succeed, but it will not work.

The -p /config/app.db was the missing component for me; thank you!
