Remarks

ResetPassword calls the MembershipProvider.ResetPassword method of the membership provider referenced by the ProviderName property to reset the password for the membership user to a new, automatically generated password. The new password is then returned to the caller.

If EnablePasswordReset is false, the membership provider will return an exception.

If RequiresQuestionAndAnswer is true, you must use the ResetPassword overload that takes a password answer as a parameter and supply the password answer for the membership user. If a password answer is required and an incorrect password answer is supplied, a MembershipPasswordException is thrown by the membership provider.
