BONUS: If you use a pc with multiple accounts, and all the accounts are password protected (and you want to access their accounts), here is what you do, Log in as administrator. Click on start/run and type in control userpasswords2 and hit enter. in the windows that pops up, highlight (click) the account of the user you want to access and click on reset password button. In the popup window, leave both the fields blank and clik OK and OK again. Restart your pc, now you can login to the account without providing a password.
