Fix : UI crash in Reset Password form when username/password is invalid #7533

[SumitSingh69]

Fixes #7533

Before (when there was no error handling for invalid username/password) :

After (proper error handling) :

Quick gist of what I did :

The Reset Password form was crashing when the username was invalid or when the backend returned an error.
This happened because UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) only handled the successful submission case.
In failure cases, no error message was set, leaving error = null, which caused the UI to break when accessed.

🔧 What I changed

Added error handling inside UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) for unsuccessful form submissions.

Added both:

Personalized error messages (e.g., invalid username, bad request, etc.)

A fallback generic error message for unexpected cases.

Ensures error is always a string, preventing UI crashes.

✅ Result

The form now behaves correctly:

Success → loads normally

Failure → shows the appropriate error message

No more error is null UI crashes

Let me know , if we need addons in this @stevepiercy @mamico
