Answer 1

Add success_url parameter of Class Based View PasswordResetView. This will replace default route of password_reset_done

from django.urls import path, re_path, include, reverse_lazy

path('reset/',PasswordResetView.as_view(

        template_name='password_reset.html',
        email_template_name='password_reset_email.html',
        subject_template_name='password_reset_subject.txt',
        ...
    
        success_url = reverse_lazy('accounts:password_reset_done')

        ...
        ... 
        ),name='password_reset'),

11 there are some change made look like password_reset, password_reset_done not able to import therefore display this error regarding this url https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.11.x/django/contrib/auth/views.py.

There are two way to resolve the error above.

1. to resolve this error add url(r'', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')), to main urls.py in your project. This will stopped the error and keep your urls in your accounts: url(r'^reset-password/$', password_reset, name='reset_password'), url(r'^reset-password/done/$', password_reset_done, name='password_reset_done'), I have resolved this error like above and it works fine.

2. Second way to resolve the error is different than first option above,remove the url(r'', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')), from main urls.py file and in your accounts/urls.py add following url's: url(r'^reset-password/$', password_reset, {'template_name':'reset_password.html', 'post_reset_redirect':'accounts:password_reset_done', 'email_template_name': 'reset_password_email.html'}, name='reset_password'),

   url(r'^reset-password/done/$', password_reset_done, {'template_name': 'reset_password_done.html'}, name='password_reset_done'),

   url(r'^reset-password/confirm/(?P[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P.+)/$', password_reset_confirm, {'template_name': 'reset_password_confirm.html', 'post_reset_redirect':'accounts:password_reset_complete'}, name='password_reset_confirm'),

This is the second solution and working.

I hope that helps your problem and sorry for delay respond your last comment, I was away.
