Use form_alter to change description under reset password field for user_pass form I'd like to change the text below the reset password field. I took a look at this answer, and it talks about changing the button, but I need a bit of help to change the text. 

Here is the debug output and it looks like I need to access #description

[name] =&gt; Array
        (
            [#type] =&gt; textfield
            [#title] =&gt; E-mail
            [#size] =&gt; 60
            [#maxlength] =&gt; 254
            [#required] =&gt; 1
            [#default_value] =&gt; 
            [#description] =&gt; A password reset message will be sent to your e-mail address.
            [#input] =&gt; 1
            [#autocomplete_path] =&gt; 
            [#process] =&gt; Array
                (
                    [0] =&gt; ajax_process_form
                )


This is how I would change the button:

function footheme_form_alter(&amp;$form, &amp;$form_state, $form_id) {
  if($form_id == 'user_pass') {
   $form['actions']['submit']['#value'] = t('reset password');
   print "boom";
 }
}
Got it!

if($form_id == 'user_pass') {
   $form['name']['#description'] = t('This is a test');
 }
