Edit Your Password Click Here
But I want only "Click Here" to be shown and when user clicks on that text it should redirect to given link(Change Password).
Please help me to edit this and run it successfully.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have only provided a text template for your e-mail, and text files (since they're not HTML) can't contain HTML links.
You should provide another template registration_confirmation.text.html.erb (or rename your current template)
From the documentation:
The mail method, if not passed a block, will inspect your views and
send all the views with the same name as the method, so the above
action would send the welcome.text.erb view file as well as the
welcome.text.html.erb view file in a multipart/alternative email.

Answer 2

From the file extension of your email template (.text.erb) you can see that you are sending a plain text email, that is why the link tag shows up in its raw form in the mail client. You should just send the plain URL in the plain text version of your email:
# users_mailer/registration_confirmation.text.erb
<%= #user.name %>

To edit your password, please visit the following URL:
<%= users_resetpass_url( :host => "localhost:3000") %>
You can provide both a plain text and a html version of your email by using the .html.erb extension for the second template:
# users_mailer/registration_confirmation.html.erb
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type' />
</head>
<body>
<p><%= #user.name %></p>
<p>Thank you for registering!</p>
<p>Edit Your Password <%= link_to "Click Here",users_resetpass_url( :host => "localhost:3000") %></p>
</body>
</html>
