      We don't want the "forgot password" link on the login page to be available. I know the link goes away if you turn on external user management, but we are using LDAP and it says not to turn it on if you're using LDAP.

            Nick,

            Please note that after you made the changes as described by Nicholas above, you will have to restart Confluence in order for the changes to show up.

            Cheers,
            Jens

            Hi Nick,

            This can be solved by going into login.vm ( <instance dir>\confluence\login.vm ), searching for forgot and deleting the div that surrounds it:

            <div style="float:right;">
            <p>
            <a href="${req.contextPath}/forgotuserpassword.action">$action.getText("forgot.password")?</a>
            </p>
            </div>

            This file uses velocity, but it can be read like an html with ifs and ends. Essentially you're changing what page shows when login is called.
            Here's documentation of velocity:

            http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/

            Cheers,
            Nicholas
