Microsoft Graph API Reset User Password

According to the documentation, we would need User.ReadWrite.All in Azure Active Directory Graph. But it's not present. And the only other option is to provide Company Administrator role to the app. Unfortunately this role can't be given via web site.

We would need a user in the directory, we want to reset password or delete user from. And at-least temporarily, this user needs to be Global Adminitrator. We didn't try with other roles, as this was a one time requirement. And once the task was done, we deleted the newly created user.

$Msolcred = Get-credential # login with the GA user
Connect-MsolService -Credential $Msolcred  
Get-MsolServicePrincipal | ft DisplayName, AppPrincipalId -AutoSize # this is not required, but to check the service principals only

If your client application was compiled against .NET Framework 4.5.2 or lower, then by default ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol is initialized to SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls (SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 only), so it won't be able to connect to a remote server that requires TLS 1.2.

There are several ways to allow your client application to use TLS 1.2:

Recompile your client application against .NET Framework 4.6 or later. (In Visual Studio, open your project's property pages, go to the Application tab, and change the Target Framework.)
On the client machine, run RegEdit.exe, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ .NETFramework\v4.0.30319, add a DWORD (32-bit) value named SchUseStrongCrypto, and set it to 1. (This flag causes ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol to be initialized to Tls | Tls11 | Tls12.)
When your client application starts up, turn on TLS 1.2:
