    How reset password if not know old one

    Using ASP.NET built in membership.

    I'm creating an "admin interface" to my site.

    Thru code, how can I reset someones password without knowing the old/current
    one?

      You don't need to know the old password if you use the Reset password
      method, that takes the username and the security question answer.
      Otherwise provide your own MembershipProvi der implementation. Just inherit
      from the standard one and add your own method, ChangePassword, that does
      what you need.

          You can do it with the default membership provider.

          There are a number of settings in web.config that will affect the
          password regime (see example below). If EnablePasswordR eset is false
          then the system will demand the old password or the security question
          answer. Otherwise the ResetPassword() method can have no parameters
          although it will supply an automatically generated new password that
          you cannot choose.

          If you wan't to set the password to something specific then it
          requires two steps:

          string AutoPassword= AMembershipUser .ResetPassword( );
          AmembershipUser .ChangePassword (AutoPassword, "MyPreferredPas sword")

          HTH

          Appendix:

          Extract from web.config where the ASP.NET tab in IIS manager dialog
          has been used to override default settings:

          <membership>
          <providers>
          <remove name="AspNetSql MembershipProvi der" />
          <add connectionStrin gName="LocalSql Server"
          enablePasswordR etrieval="false "
          enablePasswordR eset="true" requiresQuestio nAndAnswer="tru e"
          applicationName ="/" requiresUniqueE mail="false"
          passwordFormat= "Hashed"
          maxInvalidPassw ordAttempts="5" minRequiredPass wordLength="5"
          minRequiredNona lphanumericChar acters="1"
          passwordAttempt Window="10"
          passwordStrengt hRegularExpress ion=""
          name="AspNetSql MembershipProvi der"
          type="System.We b.Security.SqlM embershipProvid er, System.Web,
          Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b03f5f7f11d50a3 a" />
          </providers>
          </membership>
