How to change any password on your computer!

[The Sedical]

In this thread, i will explain and show how you can change any password of any account in your computer. Including the administrator password.​

There are many ways of changing passwords, but this one is the best in my opinion.

Step 1:
Go to start, which is located at the left bottom corner of your screen.
Click on start, and the you'll have a few options. Find run, which is located above "turn off computer", and click on run.




Step 2:
Now the run window, has opened. Type CMD and press enter. A black screen should now be opened.

Step 3:
In that black screen, type in net user and press enter. Now you should see the accounts that are created on your computer.




Step 4:
Finnaly, all you have to do now is type in net user name *, so if you want to change the password of the administrator, you would have to type in net user administrator * and then press enter, dont forget to put the star *.
Exactly like this, net user administrator *, then press enter and it will ask you for your pass twice, just write the new pass, it will appear as if it isn't writing, it but it is. If you want to change the password of a different, account all you have to do is change the name administrator into the name of the account you want to change.

Looks Like a Good Guide 8/10.

Going to try it now.

EDIT: Does this only change just admin pass, cant change anything else.

Nope this can change any acc's passwords. E.g if your account name on your computer is jordan, and your brother's is bob, then you could change any1 you want.

To change bob type. net user bob *
To change yours type net user jordan *

Good guide! Do you not need the current pass then? Nice, bright layout, good use of images and clear content! 9/10

Not a very good guide, pictures could be better and this is so simple.

You're silly.

That is one of the main reasons why you SHOULDN'T run under an account that has administrative privileges. Learn to set up permissions properly on your computer, then let's see you try doing this trick again.

Never knew about this, thanks alot!
If I ever need to do this, I'll remember

 

[The Sedical]

Yes you can do this even if you dont know your password.

Btw cp, this thread was mainly meant for usage at personal computers not schools etc, because they have protect and limited all that stuff. Yet i still cracked it in my school, i got into cmd, by creating a notepad, and opening cmd from there, then i tried to change the pass, but access was denied, but i then used attrib and some other commands, to get access.

There is always a way around anything

Edit:Cp i don't need to run on administrator to do this, i can even do this on guest account lol.

This didn't work for me on my guest account. I got the following message:

C:\Documents and Settings\Guest>net user administrator *
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

Yea, you can only do this if your computer is set up wrong. D:

And what if you cant select the "Run" becouse we cant do that at my school.

[draggin pure]

you have to be on a regular account.
you cannot be on a guest account and you have to have more than one username on the computer.

i guess this is wat i get for telling ppl stuff on msn >,<
