Membership.GetUser().PasswordQuestion contains the Security Question.

Membership.GetUser().ResetPassword(securityQuestionAnswer) will generate a new random password for the user. You can then email this to the user.

If a password answer is required and an incorrect password answer is supplied, a MembershipPasswordException is thrown by the membership provider. If you wanted to allow the user to enter a password, you could check to ensure that this exception is not thrown, then change the password.
