The corresponding is manage_users() to change one or more accounts of an acl_users instance (check out the API for details). You need the corresponding permissions to perform actions on the user folder. I suggest to use a PythonScript and give it the Manager proxy role but be aware of the security risk. You can also check out CMFs password recovery mechanism (I think there is one). -aj --On Dienstag, 18. Februar 2003 12:31 -0800 Asad Habib <ahabib1357@yahoo.com> wrote:

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the password of an anonymous user(i.e. a user that hasn't authenticated)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Are you kidding? The Anonymous User is anonymous because he is not authenticated....your question makes no sense.

Well, let me explain what I am trying to do. In the event that a user that already has a Zope account forgets his/her password, I would like to email them a new password. However, for this new password to be valid, I have to change their old password. How do I change their old password when they haven't authenticated themselves(for the current Zope session) in the first place? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
