<p>Do you try copy your admin password to your test user in database? It can be way. Do you debug the "Page Not Found" error? </p>

<p>I'm trying to set the password for a 'test' user account on my localhost test site.  I don't have an email server to send the reset emails, so I've been using the copy URL method.<br>
When I do go to the URL and change the password, I get a 'Page Not Found' page.  I went ahead and checked to see if the password was in fact changed, but upon successive login tests, they failed.<br>
I was wondering what might be causing the 'Page Not Found' error?  Is there a way to set the password through a plugin, etc?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Is it a Craft-styled 404 Page Not Found or a web-server styled one?
