Please provide:
1) Url to your site
2) Your LocalSettings.php

I can't provide you the url because i use it in an intranet of a company. I can
recreate this result by using the following settings of Localsettings.php:

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.6.3, it works fine on 1.6.

I can't upgrade to 1.6.3, because some special functions don't work anymore
then, i.e. Special:Validate. :/

Can you please give me a hint where to change a code to get this password
function back online? 

I solved it using the following includes/templates/Userlogin.php :

<?php
/**
 * @package MediaWiki
 * @subpackage Templates
 */
if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) die();

/** */
require_once( 'includes/SkinTemplate.php' );

/**
 * HTML template for Special:Userlogin form
 * @package MediaWiki
 * @subpackage Templates
 */

	<p class='error'><?php $this->html('error') ?></p>
<?php } else { ?>
	<h2><?php $this->msg('login'      ) ?>:</h2>
	<?php  $this->msgWiki('loginprompt') ?>
