Password Retrieval Returns Error (too few arguments)

When trying to retrieve password the form has an error that appears above the form and it does not send a password.

Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /home/davesmar/public_html/boats/renamed_admin/password_forgotten.php on line 65

I did not see any reason for it. Any thoughts appreciated

The script replaces "%s" in your define for TEXT_EMAIL_MESSAGE with a new password. However, if you've changed the definition of TEXT_EMAIL_MESSAGE to have more than 1 "%s" placeholder (or none at all) then you'll get the error message you're reporting.

You need to fix your language file for password_forgotten

Thank you very much for your reply. I read the code and interpreted as such. As I stated I see no obvious reason. The file has not been changed, so there is nothing to fix there. I also replaced the file, in case it had been corrupted.

When the last security patch came out. Was there any talk of this same problem happening?

Yours is the first I've ever seen of this particular problem.

I suppose one other possibility could be that you've set "Minimum Password Length" (in Admin->Configuration->Minimum Values) to 0 and thus the new password being generated is empty and throwing an error, although I would have expected it to simply show "blank" (and no error) instead of null and an error.
