I have set it to 'Only site administrators can create new user accounts.' but this does not remove the request for a password link or the page.

thanks,

Use CSS

TKS commented 10 April 2008 at 01:55

In your the CSS for your theme, try this:

#block-user-0 .item-list {
   display: none;
}

That should hide all the links under the login form, not just the password one -- but since you're not using the "Create New Account" option anyway...

Yes, that works fine, however if i go to url: /user, there is a tab which still has the 'request a password'. is there no way to completely disable this. Also how does one override forms in template on Drupal 6 so it can be custom styled on it's own. There seems to be ways to override search form and comment form but not login form?

Well, you could go into

Well, you could go into user.module and find/disable that bit of code, but hacking core is a really bad practice.

And in theory, you should be able to override that function in either your theme or a custom module. That's real coding, though, and definitely out of my depth -- sorry...

Thanks, i know, i don't like

Thanks, i know, i don't like working with forms in Drupal. It's never an easy tasks. Something Drupal should really look into. But having said that it's complicated even for PHP developers to make it easy for themers to style any forms.

Snippet to add to template.php

As this comes up so high in the search results I thought I would add this snippet... This will hide all the links in the User Login block.

Add something like the following to template.php (or a custom module):

function YOURTHEME_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  
  // Comment out the following 4 lines on production - useful for seeing form build array.
  print( $form_id );
  echo('<pre>');
  print_r($form);
  echo('</pre>');
  
  switch($form_id){

    case 'user_login_block':
      unset($form['links']);
      break;

  }
}

View the print_r output to see the form build - you can add additional cases to the switch statement to alter other forms.

See here hook_form_alter and here Forms API Reference.

removing request new password tab

dams_26 commented 30 May 2013 at 09:12

An other solution is to put this in your page.tpl.php just before the render($tabs) line. Works fine on Drupal 7 :

if(isset($tabs['#primary'][1]['#link']['path']) && $tabs['#primary'][1]['#link']['path'] == 'user/password'){
   hide($tabs['#primary'][1]);
}

instead of $tabs['#primary'][1] we have to use 2

if(isset($tabs['#primary'][2]['#link']['path']) && $tabs['#primary'][2]['#link']['path'] == 'user/password'){
   hide($tabs['#primary'][2]);
}

In Drupal 7?

fazeela commented 9 February 2016 at 09:46

Does this feature is available in Drupal 7? I've tried everything in user settings page.. but could not give me a solution.

Try in template.php

mranthony commented 30 March 2016 at 14:52

This work for me in Drupal 7.
In your theme's template.php file, add:

// Hide the request new password tab
function yourTheme_menu_alter(&$callback)
{
   unset($callback['user/password']);
}

Replace: "yourTheme" with the name of your theme.

Please note that hiding the

Please note that hiding the link is not sufficient. The page to change it will still be accessible.
Your better option is to use module NoReqNewPass as stated by Francewhoa

In Drupal 8 with an RewriteRule in .htaccess

François Capon commented 13 September 2017 at 17:55

By adding this RewriteRule in the .htaccess (Apache 2.4 for QSD) of the Drupal 8 root folder, all requests URL of password resetting are redirected to the login form:

RewriteRule ^user/password.* /user/login [QSD,L,R=302]
