How to change a Windows user password which you don't know
Posted on May.31, 2009No Comments How To, OtherIt’s pretty simple Windows CMD stuff…but the nubs might enjoy. If at any time CMD sayz you dont have permissions or a command just isn’t working, try running CMD from your system 32 folder as an administrator. ![]()
(1) Click Start Menu
(2) Click Run
(3) Type “cmd” without the “” and hit Return/Enter
In the black window that comes up:
(1) Type “net users” without the “”
Basically, a list of user names should come up
(2) Type: net user (your victim’s username) * (<- remember to put the * at the end)
e.g. I would type
net user Charlie *
(3) It will ask for a new password. Type and enter a new password but be warned, it will not display •••, ***, or text. (In other words, what you type is invisible.) So be sure to type it correctly the first time.
Once you hit Enter, it will again ask for the password you just typed to confirm it.
(4) (Optional) Now test the new password by going into control panel and attempting to change that user’s password and entering the password you just typed into the “old password ” field.
Tadaa! All done!
