Hacking Windows Password Like A Pro

-->

There is a pre configured admin account on windows called "administrator". Very few home users actually use this account, instead opting for one with they're own name or something (in fact, most home users don't even know the account exists). Unless some one uses this account, it won't show up on the welcome screen. If someone does use the account on your target computer, then disregard this tut. If you have physical access to the computer, then you have several options. If the welcome screen is used, then you could log into your limited account if you have one, and then go start, run, controluserpasswords2 and then when it asks for a username and password type "administrator" into the username box and leave the password box blank. Hit enter and you're in. Use this to set anyone's password on the computer to whatever you want, no questions asked. Alternatively, use some social engineering to get the admin of the computer to set it up so that you log in via typing a username and password. Say something like
"It's more secure." etc.
If the welcome screen is not used and users must type their username then no social engineering is needed, simply type "administrator" into the username box and hit enter. You're in.
If you don't have physical access then use something like Netscan.
Netscan is a freely downloadable tool (a network scanner, if you hadn't guessed) which scans ip ranges. Find out your target's ip, scan it, right click on it when it comes up, select some kind of option (whatever you want to do to that computer) and if it asks you for a username and password, yep you guessed it: type "administrator" and hit enter.

I hope this was helpful.
