I have the windows setup with an administrator, my admin. forgot their password, and they have the control to decide if we can download or not. I used to do it all the time when I was younger, but must've forgot.
Anywho, how do I, not the head of the computer, change the password of the admin. from my screen?
While the computer is starting (immediately after the keyboard becomes active, before the Windows logo screen), hold down F8. You will get a menu. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select "safe mode" and press enter. At the safe mode login screen, there will be an additional user called "Administrator". This hidden account can change the passwords and rights of all users. By default the account does not have a password.
If that account does have a password, this free service will crack the password for you in 72 hours, or instantly for a fee:

Or you can do it yourself, probably in much less time:

Neither program has viruses or spyware, but your antivirus might react to Cain. Just ignore the warning if it occurs.
