Hello,

are there any tutorials/guides out there that explain how to handle this subject?

I was thinking of having a member enter his username and email, after which I then email him a new password.

To where would you email him the new password? What if I enter my email address, do you email his new password to me?

No, that would be stupid. If someone has a password with me, as in an account at one of my sites, I already have their email in a database. I mail the new password to that address, and done is done.
