firebase reset password controller - firebase

Question

Yesterday my app was launched, Ionic v1, and a few users entered the wrong password and can't log into the app.
The app uses firebase authentication. I have a __refs file that points to the database and have tried numerous things trying to get the reset to work.
I've tried referencing $firebaseAuth, of course my __refs, $firebase then use $firebase.auth()...
I didn't write the authentication of this app so I'm not real sure how it works. I'm hoping that someone can help me.
My reset controller
angular.module('formulaWizard').controller('ResetPasswordCtrl',
function($scope, $ionicLoading, $firebaseAuth, __Refs) {
$scope.user = {
email: ''
};
$scope.errorMessage = null;
var fbAuth = $firebaseAuth(__Refs.rootRef);
$scope.resetPassword = function() {
$scope.errorMessage = null;
$ionicLoading.show({
template: 'Please wait...'
});
fbAuth.sendPasswordResetEmail($scope.user.email)
.then(showConfirmation)
.catch(handleError);
};
function showConfirmation() {
$scope.emailSent = true;
$ionicLoading.hide();
}
function handleError(error) {
switch (error.code) {
case 'INVALID_EMAIL':
case 'INVALID_USER':
$scope.errorMessage = 'Invalid email';
break;
default:
$scope.errorMessage = 'Error: [' + error.code + ']';
}
$ionicLoading.hide();
}
});
My Refs file
angular.module('formulaWizard')
.factory('__Refs', function ($firebaseArray, $firebaseObject) {
// Might use a resource here that returns a JSON arrayf
var ref = new Firebase('https://firebasedatabase.com/');
return {
rootRef: ref,
customers: ref.child('customers'),
}
});

I can't take credit for the answer it was provide by Abimbola Idowu on HackHands.
Since I paid for the answer I thought I would share it with anyone else that might also be stumped by this.
$scope.resetPassword = function() {
$scope.errorMessage = null;
$ionicLoading.show({
template: 'Please wait...'
});
__Refs.rootRef.resetPassword({ email: $scope.user.email }, function(error) {
if (error === null) {
showConfirmation();
} else {
handleError()
}
});
};
This is the __refs service
angular.module('formulaWizard')
.factory('__Refs', function ($firebaseArray, $firebaseObject) {
// Might use a resource here that returns a JSON arrayf
var ref = new Firebase('https://firebasedatabase.com/');
return {
rootRef: ref,
}
});
