Returns
The new password for the membership user.
Remarks
MembershipUser.ResetPassword(string) calls the MembershipProvider.ResetPassword(string, string) method of the membership provider referenced by the MembershipUser.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 Membership.EnablePasswordReset is false, the membership provider will return an exception.
If Membership.RequiresQuestionAndAnswer is false, you can supply null for the answer parameter, or use the MembershipUser.ResetPassword overload that does not take any parameters.
If a password answer is required and an incorrect password answer is supplied, a System.Web.Security.MembershipPasswordException is thrown by the membership provider.
