How would we go about implementing a "Forgot Password?" password reset?

How would we implement such a feature? I looked at Parse.com's documenation but it is very lacking and doesn't really say how to implement it.

I implemented it by this way:

1) onClick "forget password", parse generate a ticket associated to the account. 2) send the ticket to the account's mail, use parse plugins. 3) create html page to redirect the user to it by the link parse sent to him. 4) this html page will run parse function to retrieve the ticket code and save the new password to it.
