How to implement password recovery feature to the users registered through admin

Question

In my application the new users are registered by Admin. A temporary password will be sent and required to be changed after logging in for first time. Now want to implement security question and answer feature so that user can retrieve their password .

Current web.config setting is

 <membership defaultProvider="DefaultMembershipProvider">
  <providers>
    <add name="DefaultMembershipProvider" type="##" 
        connectionStringName="DefaultConnection"  applicationName="/" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" 
        requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" 
        maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" passwordAttemptWindow="10" 
        minRequiredPasswordLength="8" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1"  />
  </providers>
</membership>

I used the method called "ChangePasswordQuestionAndAnswer " under MembershipUser class. I used this to enter the security question and answer in the user's "My account " page . And implemented Passwordrecovery control and used OnsendingEmail event to verify the answer when user click's "Forgot password" .

but now the problem is OnsendingEmail event is not firing
