How to Change a Technician's Password

Change the password of a technician.

Why would you do this? In case a technician forgets his password you can easily change that with Rescue API.

Generate an account holder authentication code (authcode).

Account holders generate authcodes by using the requestAuthCode API method.

Using HTTP GET request:

https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/API/requestAuthCode.aspx?email=some@email.com&
pwd=secretPassword

Using HTTP POST request:

<form method="post" action="https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/API/requestAuthCode.aspx">
        <input name="email" value="some@email.com">
        <input name="pwd" value="secretPassword">
</form>

Response: OK AUTHCODE:4ahx...80u0
