Just fixed the same problem on an upgraded 1.6.1.0 site - You are using an out of date customers.xml, diff your copy and app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml to find the changes that need doing

Used the same fix on a 1.7.0.2 site. Thanks! – Miles Pfefferle Sep 24 '12 at 18:37

If anyone is wondering, in the new version (1.6++) of the customer.xml file the following bit has been added:

<customer_account_resetpassword translate="label">
    <label>Reset a Password</label>
    <remove name="right"/>
    <remove name="left"/>

    <reference name="head">
        <action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
            <title>Reset a Password</title>
        </action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <template>page/1column.phtml</template>
        </action>
        <action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
            <title>Reset a Password</title>
        </action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="customer/account_resetpassword" name="resetPassword" template="customer/form/resetforgottenpassword.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</customer_account_resetpassword>

Thanks, this fixed the problem for me on Magento 1.6.2 – Yeroon Apr 17 '12 at 07:17 — Yeroon, Apr 17 '12 at 07:17

If you are in Magento 1.9.1 Here is a solution which worked for me.

If your theme doesn’t include any specific custom config or layout settings you can safely delete your customer.xml (or just rename to customer1.xml) file located at /app/design/frontend/default/<your_theme_package>/<your_theme_name>/layout/customer.xml

If you delete this file magento will load the default config options (with the updates) from the factory default magento theme. /app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml

Remember to flush / refresh your magento config via administration area, this will force the customer.xml file to be reloaded.

The same is valid for Magento 1.7 after a critic patch update (6788) started giving this problem in certain installations. — versvs, Nov 13 '15 at 10:27

please add below code in your costomer.xml[app/design/frontend///layout/customer.xml] file.

<customer_account_resetpassword translate="label">
        <label>Reset a Password</label>
        <remove name="right"/>
        <remove name="left"/>

        <reference name="head">
            <action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
                <title>Reset a Password</title>
            </action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <template>page/1column.phtml</template>
            </action>
            <action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
                <title>Reset a Password</title>
            </action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="customer/account_resetpassword" name="resetPassword" template="customer/form/resetforgottenpassword.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </customer_account_resetpassword>

It's Working

I tried the above, but didn't work. From another tip I saw, I added the same code above to the 'mageb2bextensionscustomer.xml' in the same layout folder, cleared all the cache and it works now. :-)

It is because your extension is overriding the default customer xml. – Afroz Alam Jul 18 '13 at 12:12

Always back up your files!

I found a fast way to solve the issue: I replaced the custom customer.xml used by my theme in app/design/frontend/your_theme_package/your_theme_name/layout/ with the file in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml.

Now it works just fine.
