A simple trick is to send the user (with user_id) a link (by mail or any
other way)

You can do something like this (max_time is when you want the key to expire)

             user = db.auth_user(user_id)
            reset_password_key = str(int(max_time)) + '-' + web2py_uuid()
            user.update_record(reset_password_key=reset_password_key)

            link =auth.url(auth.settings.function,
                            args=('reset_password', reset_password_key),
                            scheme='https')

You can put this in a file .py and call it from web2py.py using the -R
option on commandline.
