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.

How do you reveal a Windows password?
Windows does not store passwords in plaintext. They are stored in an encrypted / hashed format. This means that once you have entered the password, you cannot display the actual text. The only way to determine what the password was is if the password was insecure and you matched it a known hash for a given password. Suggest you now do as following: 1. Try No Password Administrator Login Backdoor- In Windows XP there is built in administrator user account that has administrator credentials, enabled by default and without any password to protect the account from been access. If you didn't change the administrator's password, then try to sign in to Windows XP without password. 2. Reset password from another user account with administrator credentials. If you are unable to find your lost password from the above listed methods then you might want to buy password recovery software.
Can't Change my Computer Vista account into Administrator. an account appeared called Administrator and when i log into that account to change my original account back to administrator is won't let me?
"Administrator" is a built in account that comes with Vista. What it sounds like you are trying to do is change the name of your account to "administrator" or create a new account called "administrator" but that name is already taken by the built-in account - you can't have two accounts with the same name, even if one is called"Administrator" and the other is called "administrator". You should be able to create a new account and assign administrator privileges to it in Vista. You can even call it something close to "Administrator" - something like "administrator1" would probably work. You should also be able to change the name of the built-in account, but the name "administrator" may still be reserved and not available for you to use even if you change the name of the built-in Administrator account. I'm not at a Vista machine where I can test it out.If the problem is an inability to create an administrator TYPE of account, then you are faced with a different problem and something is wrong with the OS
