# Reset user password

> Admin-initiated password reset (e.g. by ICT support).

Issues a brand new password for the user and emails it to them, the
same way `ResendCredentialsView` does — see
`_issue_and_email_new_password`. Unlike resend, this is meant for an
active user who needs their password reset on their behalf (locked out,
forgot it, etc.), not just a user who missed their onboarding email.

Endpoint:
- POST /api/v1/auth/register/reset-password
