I had the same issue and discovered that when using it as a skin object some of the controls used in the signin control can not locate their localresourcefile. (password and profile)

However it is possible to set this in the SignIn skin object:

Locate the lines and add an option LocalResourceFile

<dnn:Profile ID="ctlProfile" runat="server" LocalResourceFile="/admin/Users/App_LocalResources/Profile" />

<dnn:Password ID="ctlPassword" runat="server" LocalResourceFile="/admin/Users/App_LocalResources/Password" />

This should work.

Good luck

I'm having the same issue (Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/1/Skins/Stihl/Stihl.ascx Error: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: format) and the proposed fix doesn't seem to have changed anything.  Any additional suggestions?

Some more info...

The error appears to be coming from line 124 in Password.ascx.vb.

It appears the User member of the DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.Password class is being used before it has been initialized.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just for the record, I was incorrect about the cause of the error.  It was, in fact, the control not finding the LocalResourceFile.  To correct the problem I had to add the LocalResourceFile as directed but I also needed a "~" at the front of the path.  I.E.  LocalResourceFile="~/admin/Users/App_LocalResources/Password".  The User member of DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.Password not being initialized might still be a bug, however.  I'm not familiar enough with the code to say for sure.
