Super User

I have the Ultimate Version of VISTA.

I need to setup accounts for my family. Is there a way to create a "super
user" that can access their accounts without having to know the password?

Re: Super User

Hello,

Short answer, no.

However, administrator accounts can change the password of any user on the
computer.

You cannot "log in" to another account without knowing the password;
however, you can change the password on an account and then log in to it
with that password.
