Use this code for password reset.
-----------------------------
DataSet ds=new DataSet();

ds=fp.viewdatabase("select password from login where
username='"+txtuser.Text+"' and
securityquest='"+dropsecurity.SelectedItem.Text+"' and
answer='"+txtans.Text+"'");
if(ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count>0)
{
try
{
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress("sender@abc.com");
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(txtaltmai.Text.Trim())); // receiver mail
msg.Subject ="Your correct password given";

msg.Body = "your password is'"+ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["password"].ToString()
+"'";
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthentication = new
System.Net.NetworkCredential("sender@abc.com", "developers_choice");
sc.EnableSsl = true;
sc.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
sc.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
sc.Credentials = basicAuthentication;
sc.Send(msg);
Response.Write("Your password has been send to secondary
mailid");

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.Message.ToString());
}
}

If you are using custome password recovery the just have to send the mail to the user that your password is:

protected void btnSent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string toEmailAddress = "UserToWhomSendPassword@gmail.com";

string GmailId = "xxx@gmail.com";

string password = "xxx";

SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select uname,password from user where username='" + TextBox1.Text

+ "'", "ConnectionSTring");

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

da.Fill(dt);

string bodyMsg = "Your Username :" + dt.Rows[0]["uname"] + "and passowrd:" + dt.Rows[0]["password"].ToString();

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.To.Add(toEmailAddress);

mail.From = new MailAddress(GmailId);

mail.Subject = txtSubject.Text;

mail.Body = bodyMsg;

mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");

smtp.EnableSsl = true;

smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(GmailId, password);

smtp.Send(mail);

}
