 Hi,
 it happened to one of my users, that the activation key mailed to him when
 he wanted to reset his pwd contained a pound sign (#). The result was that
 he got an "invalid key" error, because the pound and everything thereafter
 was not considered part of the key parameter.
 Solution: urlencode the key in the link mailed to the users, see patch.

 Tested on 2.5.1 and current svn version (close to 2.7)
