Temporary password fails to allow login

Description

After requesting a temporary password from the PasswordForgotten page on our site, the user receives an e-mail with the MD5 hash of the user's password. When pasted into the login page, login fails with a "Wrong password!" message.

I've confirmed the MD5 hash sent to the user is identical to the one stored in the wikka_users table.

Yes, the "temporary" password is the MD5-hash of your actual password. This is by design.

In the login page, you're not supposed to enter it as your normal password, but you have to enter it in the special field that is provided for the temporary password.

I tested it on 1.1.6.1 and I could log in without problems.
