i just went into swagger

used the endpoint /users/new to create a new user

then used the id of that user with

/users/93b347e425584a8ba1b0f64b00be08f1/password end point

e.g.

{
  "Id": "93b347e425584a8ba1b0f64b00be08f1",
  "CurrentPw": "",
  "NewPw": "1234",
  "ResetPassword": true
}

you get a 204 response - which means "success no content returned"

if that does not work - try it without https and your domain name

The endpoint seems to work fine in swagger because it uses the swagger temporary API key.
Try using an API key generated in your Emby dashboard > Advanced > API Keys

You will then get a 500 response when using that API key for the /Users/{Id}/Password endpoint.

i always authenticate as a admin user - never use the api keys via the dashboard

so try with the access token returned from an admin user - once logged in

Yes it works using the user authentication method. But still, it should work as well using the API key auth method.
All the other endpoints work fine with the API key auth method, no reason why this specific endpoint should be left out.
Using the user auth method for development is fine even if there's an extra request to be made compared to the api key auth method, but in production, I'd rather expose an api key instead of my account password.

We'll look into it. Thanks for reporting.
