Send a password reset / Set a password

POST 
/api/v3/user/:user_id/_action/password

By default, calling the password action will send an e-mail to the end-user containing a link. The end-user will follow the link to reset their password.

If you’d instead prefer to explicitly set the password to something for the user, you can tell password to set the password to a passed in value. An email will be sent to the end-user containing the new password.

IMPORTANT: In either of the above two cases, the default behavior sends an e-mail. If you don’t want the e-mail to be sent, use the _flag_emails=0 advanced flag to suppress the outgoing e-mail.
