Hi

I have looked in help but am not clear how to do the following in vb.net
code.

1. Check if a user belongs to a specific role.

2. Change user's password. Is it possible to do it without knowing the
old/existing password?

Would appreciate if someone could give me some pointers.

Thanks

Regards
