Prototype

Public Sub SetPassword(ByVal LoginName As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal LoginType As String)

Description

This method changes the password for a given user or contact. You may not use this method to change the password for the "sa" user. When setting the password for a contact, the password is changed in the web_user table. When setting the password for a user, the password is changed at the database level, so the current session user must have the correct database permissions to execute these commands (sp_password on SQL Server, alter user on Oracle). If the user does not have these permissions, an error will be thrown.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Required?	Description
LoginName	Yes	The user or web_user login_name
Password	Yes	The new password
LoginType	Yes	The login type - either "user" or "contact"
