Hello

If your account is an administrator account, you can change the password of another user account in the Control Panel/users.  There is also the account by default in safe mode that is not normally protected by except defined by a user.

Otherwise, you will have to wait for the user to return. It is against the policy of Microsoft for users of the forum help others in circumvention of password and other security measures.
