"Reset password" generally refers to "I forgot my password and I want to reset it", so you wouldn't be asked for the old password. The second half of your answer is accurate though.

@casablanca: there are plenty of systems out there that have you "reset" your password every X days....

@casablanca: the first half is accurate as well, "resetting the password" can have both meanings, the terminology is not that rigid. We need to ask the OP what they meant precisely.
