Hi.

I am trying to change member password using my custom CreateRandomPassword function.

My web.config file:

<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" passwordFormat="Hashed" />

My code:

MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(cuw.UserName);
String oldPass = user.ResetPassword();
String newPass =  CreateRandomPassword(10);
user.ChangePassword(oldPass, newPass);

With my code, the password asigned to member gets oldPass value instead of newPass.
