Account can not be validated (elgg 1.5)

| Severity: | major | Keywords: | login, validation |

Description
The user forgot his password and request it. But then, while logging in, Elgg shows a message "You haven't validated your account..." and sends a letter with the same code for validation, but the code does nothing: then the letter comes again.
Before it I turned off the Uservalidationbyemail plugin, maybe the reason is in it?
By the way, the user's username contains "|" symbol. But he had no problem before this situation.
What do I do? Is there a line in database with "validated/nonvalidated account" parameter?
Thanks.

Latest from svn does not allow "|" in usernames. I know data directories will be updated to use the user's guid rather than username. I don't know anything about updating the actual usernames to remove bad characters. The difficulty there is that just removing the bad characters could cause two users to have the same username.
Anyway, the focus of this report is on password reset. I have confirmed that password reset works on svn with uservalidationbyemail turned off. As such, I'm closing this ticket.
