You better not be stealing the computer or accessing someone's account without permission! there are many known tracking and surveillance applications that many people install on their macs.
Anyways, if you have access to an admin account, you can change the passwords for all other accounts (including other admin accounts). However this will not allow you to access the account's keychain (where all other passwords used on that account like Gmail and YouTube accounts are stored) without the original password.
Alternatively, you can boot the computer off the install disk for that OS (the Snow Leopard disk for Snow Leopard computers) and reset any passwords from there.
Unfortunately, if a FireVault is enabled, or some other advanced security software is installed, a password reset would be impossible.

How does a computer user log into their computer?
well there are many different ways a person can log into their computer depending on operating system. in a windows environment you would have to enter the user name and password or just password if it is password protected. on mac osx just the password and in a Linux environment it would be similar to windows. im guessing you cannot log into your machine because it is password protected and you either forgot your password or someone made one for you without telling. in either of those cases...... i would really need more information than your basic question
