Answer 1

The only way I know of requires access to the actual sql tables through SSMS.

This article is for DNN, but applies equally to any application using the ASP.NET 2.0 Membership provider, which LS does.

How to Reset Host Account Password

Make sure to change these two strings to your actaul account names:

SET @knownUserName = 'Tonic'
SET @lostUserName = 'host'

I've also done this manually, without the use of a script, basically following the same steps as the script uses.

2. go to sql and go to aspnet_Membership Table 

3. copy Password and PasswordSalt for new User You Know his Password

4. Past the Password and PasswordSalt on the User you lost his Password

5. Finally SignIn using a new  Password .

Answer 4

An administrator can use the Users administration screen in the application to set that particular user's password.  There's no need to do this by writing code or accessing the database directly.
