ASP.NET Identity reset password

Question

How can I get the password of a user in the new ASP.NET Identity system? Or how can I reset without knowing the current one (user forgot password)?

Or how can I reset without knowing the current one (user forgot password)?

If you want to change a password using the UserManager but you do not want to supply the user's current password, you can generate a password reset token and then use it immediately instead.

string resetToken = await UserManager.GeneratePasswordResetTokenAsync(model.Id);
IdentityResult passwordChangeResult = await UserManager.ResetPasswordAsync(model.Id, resetToken, model.NewPassword);
