How Do I Change Another User's Password in Windows?
2While biometrics are becoming an increasingly common way to log into PCs and laptops, many still rely on a good old-fashioned password.
There are plenty of ways to get around a lost Windows password but one of the easier ones, assuming, of course, that there's more than one user on the computer, is to just change the password from within another account.
But this combination of letters, numbers and special characters serves as a gateway to your entire device, so what happens if you forget it?
