Topic on Extension talk:ConfirmAccount

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyprivateinfo'] = false;

I'm sooo sorry, that this option in my LocalSettings.php was responsible for this issue, not the extension!

Problem solved

Hello everyone,

the topic explains my problem in a short way. The site "Special:PasswordReset" is no longer reachable before login. When the page "mywiki.com/special:passwordreset" gets visited to start the automated-password-forgotten-process, there is only the message "you have no permission". Even if I whitelist this page for anonymous users, the information message is the same. How to fix that?

Only after a successful login (you have to now username and password!), you can use the password-change-function. But what is, if you have forgotten your password. now the only way is to contact the wiki administrator.
