        string tmptoken = WebSecurity.GeneratePasswordResetToken("UserName");
        WebSecurity.ResetPassword(tmptoken , "newPassword");

I believe you can do it only programmatically. Steps:

First edit web.config to enable password reset like so:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<membership defaultProvider="MySqlMembershipProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="MySqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="...." applicationName="..."
    enablePasswordReset="true"
    type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />
  </providers>
</membership>

Then write some code that will first reset the password thus obtaining the temporary password, then use this temporary password to change to the "final" password:

MembershipUser aspNetUser = Membership.GetUser(username);
string tempPassword = aspNetUser.ResetPassword()
aspNetUser.ChangePassword(tempPassword, newPassword)
