Hi mates, some times we may forget our Windows password, in fact this thrick will works only after login to your Windows only remember. So this tutorial here which will help you easily change the password of any XP user, i tried in Windows xp only and i dont know about remaining OS’s. First of all in a normal pc there may be a single or 2 accounts to operate. but what about in our college labs, and computer institutions, every person will create his own user account, so that compute will get slow down. By using this trick we can remove and change the passwords of the all accounts.

View all of the user accounts:

To view all of the user accounts just click on Start -> Run -> and type in “CMD“
Now just type “net users” (without quotes). This will show you all accounts that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden or not.
Make sure that you Log into the computer that has administrative rights, for these type of works we need admin rights that’s why i did not mentioned above
So click on Start -> Run -> and type in “CMD”.
Now type “net user” and then name of account then * and press enter.
The format will be: net user Administrator *
Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces like: net user “str Graphics” *
Then that will ask you to change the password, just change the password
