This ASP.NET pop-up form will be used when user clicks on Forget Password link to recover his/her password. The ASP.NET pop up form will show text, email address textbox, and Submit button. I have seen sites where such a form is shown over the existing page and I would like to duplicate this look.

The straight-forward part is creating a modal popup form. But calling this modal popup form from code behind is a challenge (that I could not solve).
