So today we will see how we can reset and changes user’s password using apex

In Salesforce, we have two methods to do it.

• resetPassword(Id userId, Boolean sendUserEmail)
  • This method resets the password for the specified user.
  • When the user logs in with the new password, they are prompted to enter a new password, and to select a security question and answer if they haven’t already.
  • If you specify true for sendUserEmail, the user is sent an email notifying them that their password was reset.

• setPassword(Id userId, String password)
  • When the user logs in with this password, they are not prompted to create a new password.
  • Password will be changed successfully without any notification to the user.

For example:

List<User> sfdcUsers = new List<User>();
//you can pass users list here or mention like this or can use string for single username
sfdcUsers = [SELECT Id, Name FROM User WHERE Username in ('username1','username2','username3','username4')];
 
for(User u : sfdcUsers){
    //For reset User password
    System.resetPassword(u.Id, true);
	
    //For set User password
    System.setPassword(u.Id, 'password');
}

Using this apex code we can create a visualforce page, an aura or lightning web component, then users will not need to run it manually and they can reset using UI.
