Here is simple way through which you can reset the password of any non-administrator accounts. The only requirement for this is that you need to have administrator privileges. Here is a step-by-step instruction to accomplish this task.

1. Open the command prompt (Start->Run->type cmd->Enter)

2. Now type net user and hit Enter

3. Now the system will show you a list of user accounts on the computer. Say for example you need to reset the password of the account by name Jack, then do as follows

4. Type net user Jack * and hit Enter. Now the system will ask you to enter the new password for the account. That’s it. Now you’ve successfully reset the password for Jack without knowing his old password.

So in this way you can reset the password of any non-administrator Windows account with your administrator account at times when you forget it or want to use that account without permission so that you need not re-install your OS for any reason. I hope this helps.
