Change User Password in ASP.NET Forms Authentication

Question

I code in C# (ASP.NET) and am using Forms authentication.
I would like to know which is the best method to change a user password without using the asp:ChangePassword c

Answer 1

On the off chance someone is using the ApplicationUser and not the Membership - as I was because I did not want to set a Membership Provider - you can change the password this way:

            Dim manager = New UserManager()
            Dim userChange As ApplicationUser = manager.FindById(IDUser)

            userChange.PasswordHash = manager.PasswordHasher.HashPassword(newPassword.Value)
            Dim val As Object = manager.Update(userChange)

Hope this helps someone
