This
tweak gives a user the opportunity to use it for good
or bad. It enables the user to re-password any account
without having to know the existing password and also
shows you every account that exists on the machine
(even the ones that are hidden). This is a good tool
to use if you forgot a password to say your administrator
account and you needed to be logged into the admin
account for any reason.
To view all of the user accounts:
1) While logged onto the computer,
click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.
2) From the command prompt window,
type in net users. This will show you every account
that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden
or not.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To change an account password:
1) While logged onto the computer
to an account that has administrative rights, click
on Start>Run>and type in CMD.
2) Type in net user then the name
of the account then * and press enter. heres an example:
net user administrator * or net user "Joe Smith"
* . Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces.
3)
From there it should ask for a new password. Type
in your new password (type very carefully - the command
window won't display what you type) and once more
to confirm it. If you get the message that the command
succeeded successfully you're all set!!
