membership change password

Question

how can i change password manual directly in table membership? passwordformat=1, so how can i crypt password before insert into table?

Answer 1

There's a hack you can use:

Assuming you're not requiring the Security Question / Answer feature, you can call the ResetPassword() method in the membership API and then use the return value of that method as the old value for ChangePassword().

Something like this:

 Membership.GetUser().ChangePassword(Membership.GetUser().ResetPassword(), "new password");

There's a more complicated hack you can use if you are requiring the Security Q&A.
