Question

I’m working on a website using VB (ASP.NET)

I want to implement a password recovery code without using the controls in asp.net

I didn’t use ASP.Net Membership for logging in, I have MSSQL database with USER table

What I really I need is:

when the user forget his/her password, he/she enters the email then press a button to submit, then I have to find this email in the user table, retrieve the user name and password, generate new a random password, update the password with the new generated one, and finally send an email to the user with the username and the new generated password.

How can I do that ?
Please help me
Thank you

Answer 1

• when the user forget his/her password, he/she enters the email then
  press a button to submit

  Create a WebForm, with two <asp:textbox/> and a <asp:button/>, wire up the button’s OnClick event

• then I have to find this email in the user
  table, retrieve the user name and password

  Use ADO.NET to query the database using the form values posted

• generate new a random
  password

  Search Google for a good random password generator

• update the password with the new generated one

  Use ADO.NET to connect to the db and execute an update statement with SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery

• send an email to the user with the username and the new generated
  password

  Use System.Net.Mail to send an email
