    This cannot be done.  You cannot define what password is acceptable when the user changes password, except by enforcing complexity rules, etc.

    Also, if the account is locked, how can you expect the user to retreive the email?

    While I'm at it, you are not asking anything about scripting as far as I can tell?

    Even the title is C# :)

    Hi Girishgouda,

    Your question doesn't make sense.  I think you should describe the goal, not the steps. Also, as Karl pointed out, why ask a C# question in a scripting forum?

    The account cannot be locked, or the user will be unable to logon with the password you communicate to them.

    When you assign the new random password, you can expire the password so it must be reset at first logon. If the password is reasonably complex and random, only the person with the correct password will be able to logon with it.
