How to Change Password on Windows without Original Password

Here is a little guide that I have made which teaches you how to change the password of any account on the computer you are currently using without knowing the original password. 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 family members. 

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 -> Run -> cmd.exe
Type in ‘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 shall get a prompt asking you for the new password:

Finally it shall ask you to repeat the new password, click enter and BAM, you have now changed the password without knowing the original one
