Change the wording of the screen where users ask for a password reset link.
Settings
- Instructions: the message above the form. WordPress says “Please enter your username or email address. You will receive an email message with instructions on how to reset your password.”
- Username label: the label above the field.
- Submit button: WordPress says “Get New Password”.
- “Register” link: the link to the registration screen, when registration is open.
Leave a field empty to keep WordPress’s wording.
Change the wording
- Type the new text in the fields you want to change.
- Click Save changes, then use Preview → Lost password.
The reset link itself arrives in the Password Reset Request email, which you can reword under Settings → Emails → User Emails.
