Is there a way to reset any user's password as an admin using developer credentials?

I am using Cognito UserPools, I have went through the API's of Cognito.
I am not seeing a way to set user's password as Admin ,on behalf of user. We have business use case which needs this.

As per documentation, forgot/reset will send 6 digit confirmation code to user's email.
Is there any way to suppress this mail with confirmation code and get this code as a Admin via some other way? We want to send user email on our own.

This is a capability that is in our backlog of features that we are planning to implement (providing an admin API for setting a user's password to a specific password).

@itrestian Thanks! Any estimate on when this would be available?

@piyush-gitnub Not sure if that would work for you, but we can always delete and recreate users as an admin. It may sound like a "hack" but would allow us to solve this issue while the API doesn't get updated.
