    1. Hello Sohoz,

      I don’t think that would affect the link not displaying. It should be there. If you have not added any content yet I would remove OpenCart and then reinstall it.

      Kindest Regards,
      Scott M

    1. Hello Sohoz,

      The Forgotten Password link should display in the default theme, even in the 2.0.2.0 version. Have you added a different theme or any modules that would remove that?

      Kindest Regards,
      Scott M
