Hey guys,

I looked in the forums, and the help, but can't find exactly what I am looking for. Is there a button that I can push to reset a specific users password to a random value and mail that to the user? I have seen similar tools in the dashboards, some that send emails, some that reset all passwords in a quota, but can't find a way to do it for a single user without manually typing in a password. Suggestions?

Clear skies,
John

Is this a Ning import? If so the NingImport module has such a tool.

No, this is just a standard user who is having trouble logging in and finding the "reset my password" page. So I wanted to do it for them. Is there an easy way?

This is the correct way - send them the URL so they can click on it.
