Here is my code for Forgot Password:

package com.Login;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class ForgotPassActivity extends Activity {
     EditText address, subject, emailbody, et_email;
    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.forgot_password);
    TextView textv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lbl_loginhere);
    et_email = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_email);
    textv.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            ForgotPassActivity.this.finish();
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setClass(v.getContext(), LoginActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);

    }
        //Code For Sending mail

    });
    Button b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submitButton);
    b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            sendEmail();
        }

    });

}
    public void sendEmail(){


          final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
          emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
          emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"testmail@testmail.com"});
          emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject.getText());
          emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailbody.getText());
          ForgotPassActivity.this.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

}

If you're using any web service the better way is call the web service by passing the user email address and search in your database and fetch the record. For secure way passing data create the Post service and from your service like php or any another technology send the mail to the incoming email with it's password.

Updated

you can use this function from your service mail() see for more info from the links and here is simple snippet of code

<?php
// The message
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send
mail('caffeinated@example.com', 'My Subject', $message);
?>

you should not send the password to the webservice ... just the username ... then send the email from the web service to the registered address for that user. – Moog Sep 13 '12 at 14:08

did you call any web service? – Pratik Sep 13 '12 at 14:27
then call through the json parser by passing the user email address or check some post to call the service, http://stackoverflow.com/q/6047194/760489, http://stackoverflow.com/q/4410398/760489, http://stackoverflow.com/q/5893892/760489, http://stackoverflow.com/q/7020309/760489 – Pratik Sep 13 '12 at 14:32
