Manual Reset Users Password
I currently have a site where I administer users and their account. On my Admin dashboard I want to be able to reset their user's password to whatever I type without knowing the users current password. Below is my coding, I want to either be able to get the user's current password and then change it to whatever I enter in the tb_PWOverride textbox or if that isn't possible I want to reset their password, and get the hashed password and change it to whatever I type in the tb_PWOverride textbox.
the textbox's tb_SecQuest, and tb_SecAns are text boxs I am using to update the security question and answer. That part of the procedure is at least working right now.

protected void btn_profile_Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
try
{
MembershipUser u = Membership.GetUser(ddl_AllUsers.SelectedValue);
//string tempPswd = u.ResetPassword(); ------I would use this line only if I reset
string oldPswd = u.GetPassword();
u.ChangePassword(oldPswd, tb_PWOverride.Text);
Boolean result = u.ChangePasswordQuestionAndAnswer(tb_PWOverride.Text, tb_SecQuest.Text, tb_SecAns.Text);
if (result)
Msg.Text = "Password Question and Answer has been updated.";
else
Msg.Text = "Password Question and Answer was not updated.";
}
catch (Exception )
{
Msg.Text = "Change Failed. Please re-enter your values and try again.";
}
}
}
}
If you call ResetPassword() on the User object it should generate a new password and return it to you. You can then feed that into the ChangePassword() method to change it.
