Reset a lost ASP.Net membership password

I have been doing a lot of development work lately and found myself in a pickle today.   I was close to finishing a project that relied on ASP.Net membership a few months ago and for reasons that I won’t go into I had to put it on hold until now.   A lot can happen in a few months, like for instance, you can loose your admin password that you were using.    Being sure I used something that I could remember easily I locked myself out.   So I Googled a cure to my woes.

I found a few posts that pointed to programmatic ways of resetting the passwords, one was to write VB code while another said to run a few SQL stored procedures.  But I found a product called membership manager by Quality Data that filled all my needs and more.  

As the title implies, membership manager allows you to create, update, delete all aspects of you ASP.Net membership enabled site as long as it is using the SQL provider.   Within minutes of downloading the demo and watching the video, I was able to put the control on a new page of my test site and give myself access to reset my lost password.    As you could imagine I was relieved.   

I haven’t dug into the product much more than my initial need, but I like everything I have seen so far.  I am sure this program will become part of my ASP.Net toolkit.
