Hello.  
I have installed Mender server version 3.4.0 using the helm chart.  
After creating some users from web UI, I tried to initiate password reset, but it failed with the following error.

```auto
The password reset request cannot be processed: Resource not found

```

The developer tool on the web browser showed the following call resulted in http 404.

Can someone help how to fix this problem?

Hi @koki,

This sounds like the issue at [Unable to create admin user - Kubernetes Mender Deployment - #4 by TheYoctoJester](https://hub.mender.io/t/unable-to-create-admin-user-kubernetes-mender-deployment/5325/4). If that is accurate, then we’re already working on it. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Greetz,  
Josef

Hello @TheYoctoJester,  
Thank you for the info.  
I’ve read the linked thread, but it seems a different problem.  
I can log in with a user created via useradm command.  
Also, I can create other users from web UI, and can log in with these users as well.  
What I cannot do is to reset user password.

Hi @koki  
Password reset feature is not available in the open source.

Hello @kjaskiewiczz  
Thank you, I understand.  
Then I think the following API documentation should be updated:  
[https://docs.mender.io/api/3.4/#management-api-user-administration-and-authentication-initiate-password-reset-request](https://docs.mender.io/api/3.4/#management-api-user-administration-and-authentication-initiate-password-reset-request)  
It does not mention that the password reset request initiation is not available in the open source version. It would be great that the document for this API has a phrase similar to

```auto
This operation is only available in our commercial offering and requires you to be on the following plans: 
* enterprise

```

like List Roles API ([Mender API docs](https://docs.mender.io/api/3.4/#management-api-user-administration-and-authentication-v2-list-roles))

@kjaskiewiczz @lramirez Requesting you to confirm if reset-password mail triggering functionality is available only for Enterprise version. Currently with my open-source version, reset email is not being sent and no errors in any of the logs.

Only from Browser Developer Tools, I could see requests are being sent to **“v2”** URIs

Please help us to understand if its available or not
