How to Change Password on WindowsXP / 7 without knowing the Original Password???

Posted in Labels: Computer Tricks | at 08:43

This is useful for many occasions such as if you forget the password to your primary account on your computer but still have access to another 0ne or if you simply want to prank your brother. This has been tested on both Windows XP and Windows 7. For this to work you must have access to another account because you have to use Command Prompt or CMD to change the password.
Here is how to do it:

Open Command Prompt (CMD) by going to Start
Hit on Run
Then cmd
Type net users

This will show you a list of all the accounts on the computer. This is just to check and make sure you know the EXACT username of the account you want to change the password for.

Next, you need to type in net user (whatevertheusernameis)

Next you will get a prompt asking you for the new password: Finally it will ask you to repeat the new password, click enter and BAM, you have now changed the password without knowing the original one.
