    winxp: how to run a program under admin as other user?

    i fucked shit up!


    im logged on as administrator but i need to run a program under another user account, as the user, so it thinks im executing it from the user account so i can have the settings that are set for that user, as opposed to the administrator. I cant login as the user cuz i fucked up the pw and i cant reset it.

    is there a way to do this? thru console or something??

    SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

      why don't you go to user accounts under Control Panel find that user and change the password... then you can log in as that user again

          yeah, use the 'runas' command in console.. I think you'll still need the user password though

          otherwise, if you don't just want to change the password (cause it's not yours ), you can use a program like l0phtcrack or saminside to reveal it..

                          If your logged on as an administrator : Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the account type of the other user you want to run it from to "computer admin" , log off admin, log onto user, you will have sufficient privledges.
                          i don't have a sig.

                              i believe the account type is already computer admin. I dont want the user knowing i accessed anything so i cant just reset the pw they have on it or take it off completely. Then ill blow my spot, lol.

                              Well, since they didnt protect the main admin account with a pw, i boot into safemode so i have the admin login available, then logged in as admin i try and run ms messenger. I tried via console with "runas /user:<Username> msmsgs.exe" in the messenger folder, and it says file not found. So i also try and right click the file, it gives the option 'runas', so i select the user account, and then it says it cant run the program in safemode. Which is bullshit cuz if i run it normally as admin the program loads.
