This code defines a custom password reset form that inherits from the Django PasswordResetForm class. It adds a hidden input field for user_id and overrides the save method to generate a one-time password reset link and send it to the user via email. The email includes information such as the user's email, domain, site name, unique id, and a token for password reset. The code also handles cases where the user is not found in the database and generates the necessary context for the email template before sending the email using the send_mail method.
