setPassword()

Syntax

1SetPasswordResult setPasswordResult = connection.setPassword(ID userID, string password);

Usage

Use setPassword() to change the password of a User or SelfServiceUser to a value that you specify. For example, a client application might prompt a user to specify a different password, and then invoke setPassword() to change the user’s password. Use resetPassword() instead if you want to reset the password with a random value generated by the API.

3      SetPasswordResult result = connection.setPassword(userId, newPasswd);
4      System.out.println("The password for user ID " + userId + " changed to "
