This is incase someone has changed your password and you cannot get in/useful for getting into other users you might not know if you are not an administrator. (which I doubt cause most of the forum are hackers, and you need to be an administrator to hack. Theres a story behind how I found out, but I won't be telling it.

1. Cprompt

You can run cprompt And type "net user name", which will give statistics of the user, I.E. the last time they had a password change and some other inimportant crap.

To change a users password, simply type "net user name *", which will allow you to type a password (it will not appear AT ALL) and then type again to confirm, enter twice to delete password (blank).

You will not be able to find what their password originally was though, so it is only useful to use. Be careful, once you double click twice the password is automatically changed and cannot be reversed unless you know the password.

2. Safe Mode

You have to make sure the hidden administrator account does not have a password set on it so you are able to access it. Here are the steps to do so:

Start your computer, and wait until the bar thing starts to move from left to right, then pull plug on computer/power.
Then start your computer again, it will show up with a menu, select either Safe Mode w/Networking or regular Safe Mode (Doesn't matter.) DirectX does not load in safe mode, so certain games will not be able to be accessed.
Safemode is "safe" so you will not be able to change the account much, but it will allow you to access the user section on the control panel, where you can edit the accounts as you please.

This helps in case someone put a password on your computer and you cannot access is daily, you can make a new account or otherwise depending on your situation. I will probably add screenshots if I have the time. (not on main computer)
