This is the beauty of a file system called NTFS. NTFS is based on security, and is on any Windows computer from Windows 2000 to now. This makes things such as trying to change the administrator's password from a standard account not possible. NTFS additionally adds file protection - your files will not be viewed from a standard account if set to as an administrator. Your answer in short is no. There is no way to change the administrator password with a standard account.

I believe that your question relates to how to change other user's accounts from a single account. This is possible, without hacking, by labeling the account as an "Administrator." It sounds like the account you currently have is a "Limited" account, in which you are obviously limited to some things, such as changing other users account information. An previous "Administrator" can use Control Panel to change your account status.
