What is the purpose of this question? There are many ways, all of them illegal if used to hack a computer. (see Computer Misuse Acts around the globe).
The general method is to boot the computer in single user mode, causing it to allow root access, which would allow you to change the password through UNIX command: passwd.
Note: This method will require a significant amount of experience in command-line systems..

(no shift). After a while when you computer screen goes black with white text scrolling, type:
- fsck/mount/ -uw
- passwd (account name)
Then it will ask you what you want your password to be, twice (it may look like it's not typing, but it is)
Finally, to exit type: reboot
And volia, your password is changed.
