EdBoy7713 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 hey, one of my user accounts on another network I usually dont use much is a limited account. I need to change my password for the account, however I don't have access to the control pannel, nor access to administrative provelages (unless any of you knows how to get admin. privelages through the registry like I've been trying to figure out for some time now - copying the sids from the admin.'s folder into mine doesn't work since the registry is automatically refreshed every time i log on again, and I would have to do that for them to take effect). I've got one of those annoying 'jackasses' (excuse my language) on my hands (in my workgroup)....you know, one of those morons who thinks he's a hacker but doesnt know crap, who may potentially know how to change the password, however he "can't reveal his deep hacking secrets for under $200" (lol) - its not even hacking, I just need to change my password. Ive been reading a lot of internet sites, trying to figure this out, and a few have slopily mentioned doing this in command prompt or in "Computer Management", which i've already sifted in and out and it doesnt look like theres anything there. my user account doesnt even show up under "users". THANKS A TON, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. ~SEAN :thumbup: :rockon: :groupwave: :beamme: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 It would depend on what Network OS is being used, and what OS is on the computer you will be using to change the account.Have you simply tried pressing ctrl/alt/del (all together) whilst logged in, to bring up the security box, whereby one of the options should be for you to change the password?Mr. M.

EdBoy7713 Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 the OS is Windows XP Pro. the options when pressing ctrl-alt-del are limited as well, but on my home computer when I press them there is no security box to change your password. I've been talking to a few people and one said that the method through Command Prompt is the one that works, however I have had no success so far....THANKS! ~SEAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
