Using SetPassword to change password isn't working

I am using version v7.0.21. I have a custom app that calls kentico apis to manager/administer users within our kentico site. I can create users just fine but when I use SetPassword to update an existing users password i can see that the hash on db changes in the CMS_User.UserPassword column and it looks like the user password has been updated. When I try and login with the updated credentials the server cache stills thinks the password is the old one. I can only get it to work if I clear server cache (manually through Site Mgr) after I run SetPassword. Is there a way to add the new user password to server cache after I call SetPassword?

Here is the basic code. username is a variable passed in:

UserInfo userInfo = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo(username.Trim()) 
CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfoProvider.SetPassword(userInfo, "secretpassword");

// i've also tried call SetPassword w/ username
CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfoProvider.SetPassword(username, "secretpassword");

// i've also tried calling SetUserInfo after SetPassword to see if it made a difference. UserInfoProvider.SetUserInfo(userInfo);

Anyone have any tricks to override the server cache when i update password through the api from an outside application?

RE:Using SetPassword to change password isn't working

I applied the latest hotfix (7.0.41) and it didn't seem to help. I'm seeing the same behavior.

To be clear, my api calls are being made from within a custom web forms app. Other api calls like SetUserInfo, AddUserToSite, AddUserToRole, CheckPasswordPolicy all complete successfully. When I call SetPassword the database is updated but the current server cache is not. When I login using the old password Kentico updates the database back to the old password value.

Is there a way to clear cache for a paticular user after calling SetPassword?

Use the CacheHelper.TouchKey("dummyKeyName") method [url=CacheHelper.TouchKey("touchthis");]described here[/url]. If you don't know what the dummy key is, you will need to enable debugging on your Kentico site and review the cache keys for the user info.
