How to manually change password in asp.net membership?

I would like to change password in database manually, but I am not su开发者_开发问答re what exactly I need to change and which methods to use. I would change it via code but currently I have only access to db.

If you want to change the password directly through the database, you are going to need to create a new user or find an existing user that you know the password of. Then, you'll need to get the password and salt, then update the user in question with the same password and salt.

Get the user's password/salt:

SELECT 
    au.username, aa.ApplicationName, password, passwordformat, passwordsalt
FROM 
    aspnet_membership am
INNER JOIN 
    aspnet_users au ON (au.userid = am.userid)
INNER JOIN 
    aspnet_applications aa ON (au.applicationId = aa.applicationid)
WHERE
    au.UserName = '[user to change password]'

Change the password:

DECLARE @changeDate DATETIME
SET @changeDate = GETDATE()

EXEC aspnet_Membership_setPassword 
    'applicationName',
    'user',
    'password',
    'passwordsalt',
    @changeDate,
    Passwordformat

The code calls a stored procedure:

Like with the other methods in the Membership framework, the ResetPassword method delegates to the configured provider. The SqlMembershipProvider invokes the aspnet_Membership_ResetPassword stored procedure, passing in the user's username, the new password, and the supplied password answer, among other fields. The stored procedure ensures that the password answer matches and then updates the user's password.
