User Password Changes
I have a user that has Adminstrator Rights. He changed his password for his
login. I still have the Administrator Password, so I can still get on his computer. The questions is this: Can I log on as administrator and change his password for his login? |

User Password Changes
I'm not sure if there's a problem or not but the User Password dialog will
not come up. Nothing happens when I execute User Accounts. "Bert Kinney" wrote in message ... Hi, Login as administrator and to go User Accounts in Control Panel and change the password from there.

User Password Changes
Hi,
Boot tapping the F8 key as the BIOS information goes by. At the Windows Advanced Options menu select Safe Mode. On the welcome screen select Administrator. This is the hidden Administrator account (not intended for day to day use) and assuming a password was never assigned to it click enter. Account changes can be made from Control Panel, or: From there go to Start - Run and type control userpasswords2 then press enter. From there you can select any user account and Reset Passwords, add/remove accounts or change account type.

I already know that "control userpasswords2" does not work. Same issue,
nothing happens. I will try your first option and let you know. "Bert Kinney" wrote in message ... Hi, Boot tapping the F8 key as the BIOS information goes by.
