Mark my answer as a solution to your question if it solve your problem.
if the organization restricts the IP addresses, the option for resetting the security token will not. Then how to do deployments with eclipse as it asks for the security token?
Manage Users->Profiles->System Administrator->Login Ip ranges-> You will find login ip ranges (ex: 255.255.255.255). From the eclipse or data loader will not ask for security token. Why u need to security token for the user. If u want to enable 'Reset Security token' you need to delete IP ranges from the profile.
@yadnesh. If there are any IP range values defined in Profile then Reset My Security Token option will not be available. In order for the option Reset My Security Token to appear you will need to first either remove the Login IP Ranges or change the user to a profile that does not have any Login IP Ranges listed. For Unlimited, Performance or Enterprise editions check Setup | Manage Users | Users | Profile| Profile name | Login IP Ranges and for Professional, Group or Contact Manager editions check Setup | Security Controls | Session Settings
this URL has been a lifesaver for me over the years: [your salesforce domain]//_ui/system/security/ResetApiTokenEdit?retURL=%2Fui%2Fsetup%2FSetup%3Fsetupid%3DPersonalInfo&setupid=ResetApiToken
you do not need to worry about the ip login ranges. This is a total hack but it works. Make sure you are using the logged in user for the token you would like reset.
I have an old DE org that I used to get the Wave badge. Now I had to change the password and got a new token. Where do I use this token? When I try to login, it does not ask me for ANY token and it does not accept the new password. How do I solve this? Is there a way to disable this requirement? Thanks

I have faced same challenge recently in the project. I have removed IP range specified for the profile under which I am trying to login. It solve the problem.
That is because your organization restricts the IP addresses from which you can log in.
your organization restricts the IP addresses from which you can log in, the Reset My Security Token node does not appear in Setup.

I have edited my user profile as per SF, apparently this can somehow "reset" a profile?
Now I'm just stumped - anyone have any suggestions?If there are any IP range values defined in Profile then Reset My Security Token option will not be available.
