If you are just running the Dev server you don't need to do a password reset. Simply click on the link to log in with a google account and it will take you to a screen that will prompt for an email address that will be used to identify you in the Dev environment. No password is required.

The development server provides zero security. You can masquerade as anyone and anyone with access to it can masquerade as you. Currently, the open source version can only officially be deployed on Google AppEngine, but we are working on a version that can be deployed in other cloud environments. Could you give us some details about your setup and use case?

Just to be clear, I assume you are using the Google “Dev Server.”

The dev server also does not permit you to send e-mail, which is why you
cannot use the Password Set/Reset link.

However you can click “Use my Google Account” to signin. In production
on App Engine this will require a Google Account (and access to Google
which I know is blocked in China). However in the “dev” server you will
be prompted for an account to login with. No password is required (this
is why Evan stated that there is no security) and you can use any
account name you want. No data is sent to Google, so the fact that
Google may be blocked should not be an issue.

You can get some security in the dev server in a fashion.

1. Use the “Google Account” signin. On the dev server login page there
is a checkbox for “login as an administrator.” Select this option.

2. Once you are logged in, you can use the Admin menu to select the
“User Admin” item. This will bring you to the account admin
page. From here you can setup accounts for your students. Because
e-mail doesn’t work, you will have to use the account admin page to
setup their passwords. Make sure to create an account here for
yourself (or set the password on the account you used from the
“google signin” page) and set its “admin” flag).

3. Once you have your account setup you can go to appengine-web.xml in
your build tree. Look for “auth.usegoogle” and set it to false and
restart your server. This will remove the “Use Google Account”
link. All logins will then have to provide a username/password. You
now have a more secure system.

Password recovery will still not work, because the Dev server will not
send email.

Something very important to keep in mind. The dev server is fragile. If
you upgrade it to a new version, the first time you run the new version
it will wipe out your database, deleting all of your accounts and all of
their projects! Go with caution and backup your data.

One last thing. The User Account page is a new feature and is currently
only available in English, though we expect to offer other languages in
the future.
