The ChangePassword.UserName property gets the Web site user name for which to change the password. You can also use the ChangePassword.UserName property just to get the user name from within the System.Web.UI.WebControls.ChangePassword control, without changing the password. Additionally, the ChangePassword.UserName property can be used from within an e-mail message that has been created to send e-mail from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.ChangePassword control by using the string "<%UserName%>" in the body of the e-mail message.

To allow the user to type in a user name, set the ChangePassword.DisplayUserName property to true. If a user is already authenticated, he or she does not need to enter a user name.
