Since the company must be chosen in the login form, the forgot password flag must need to be in the config.php file. A user with the same email id can be present in more than one company in the same install and the company choice makes it unique.

Fork FA on GitHub and make a branch for your UI contributions and make a pull request with the link in the forum (since FA still relies on Git from SF and the GitHub repo is only it's mirror).

Also if you have any idea to improve the UI. I can be one of a developer to the redesign to make it look better.

Thanks @Joe and @Apmuthu.
Instead of editing the config.php

Can we set admin option for it.?

Not only for this option. We have given a lot of things like that.

So a non technical user feels troubled to work with config.php.

In release FA2.4 you can set the following variable in config.php to true

$allow_password_reset = false;

This will show a link to get a password reset.

If you are looking forgot password option. It's not here in FA. so we need to create those through the admin as like apmuthu's method.

Else rest through database tables. Directly open the table and change it there.

Done and it works:

UPDATE `db_name`.`0_users` SET `password`=MD5("MySecretPwd"), `inactive`=0 WHERE `user_id`='admin';

Excessive tries with wrong password will set the inactive field in the users table to 1 and that needs to be reset.
Also we need to put in the MD5 hash of the password into the password field instead of the raw plaintext password itself.

Use a MySQL client like SQLyog to make sure that your MySQL user permissions for the FA db is okay and the permissions reloaded (FLUSH PRIVILEGES;).
