How to reset user password in keycloak using REST API

Question

I want to make a rest call to my Keycloak server.

According to doc it should be easy: https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/10.0/rest-api/index.html#_executeactionsemail

So before I'll start codeing I want to prepare Postman call, so my url is

http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/realms/test/users/12345/execute-actions-email

in raw body I'm providing ['UPDATE_PASSWORD']

and what I get is 401 Unauthorized and I can't get what I'm doing wrong?

Body:

Headers are default:

For accessing the Admin Rest API you need to pass on the admin token to REST CALLS:

You would have been prompted to create an admin account as soon as you would have opened {keycloak-url}/auth.

You can use this admin account to obtain the admin token as shown below.

Note that only change you have to do in below call is your keycloak server address and value of admin username and password.

You can pass the token obtain above on to the REST aPIs with Authroization header.

Please refer to my other SO post for a step by step guide to do this.
