How to modify the Password Recovery email text in Drupal 7

Written by Scott Mitchell

Users will sometimes forget their passwords. In this case, the Drupal 7 program has a password recovery email to help the user get it back. This email sends them a one time login so they can reset their password. You can customize the body text by using the steps below.

Editing the Password Recovery email text in Drupal 7:

  1. Log into your Drupal 7 admin dashboard.
  2. Find the Configuration option on the top menu bar and click on that option.
    _main-dashboard-configuration
  3. You are now on the Configuration screen. Find the People category and click on the Account Settings link.
    _config-people-account
  4. This brings you to the Account Settings screen. Be sure you are set to the Settings tab, found in the upper right part of the screen. Find the Emails section and click on the Password Recovery menu option. From there, edit the message in the Body section.

  1. config-people-account-email-recover
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the Save Configuration button.
