Django Error - Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '

Question

I am trying to create a reset password functionality in my application and added the following lines in my urls.py.

urls.py

url(r'^resetpassword/passwordsent/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done', name='password_reset_done'),
    url(r'^resetpassword/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset'),
    url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm'),
    url(r'^reset/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete'),

But when I enter my email id on reset password, it is showing an error which I am not able to understand. Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments 'I have gone through some of the suggestions but none are working. Could anyone any help me with this error?

Django needs to know how to resolve the URL from the name used in the url template tag. You should add the name to this line:

 url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm'),

So it becomes:

 url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm', name='password_reset_confirm'),
