Hi $user,
We received a request for your password.
If you did not make such a request than somebody faked it and you should ignore this email message.
If you made the request here is the information you require.

--- Login details ---

Password : '$password'

Type the password without the quotes around it, those are only there so you know if the password contains any spaces.

the first thing to do at this point is to echo out all the variables that are passed from the first page, and make sure that the information is passing correctly.

It's always possible you might have mispelled the names of them.
