<membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="20">  
  <providers>  
    <add name="SqlProvider"  
      type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"  
      connectionStringName="SqlServices"  
      enablePasswordRetrieval="false"  
      enablePasswordReset="true"  
      requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"  
      passwordFormat="Hashed"  
      applicationName="MyApplication" />  
  </providers>  
</membership>

The following code example first verifies that EnablePasswordReset is true, then resets a user's password and returns the new, automatically generated password.

Remarks

Password reset is the ability for ASP.NET membership to replace the current password for a user name with a new, randomly generated password when a user has forgotten their password or the current password is no longer valid. This is especially useful when password format is set to Hashed, as users cannot retrieve hashed password values.
