I’m troubleshooting a standard user’s account. She has forgot her password and I’m trying to change the password but there’s no options

My method was

Home > Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts (Change account type) > person’s name Account > Change account password

But Change account password is not available. Is there any other way to change the person’s password that I’m troubleshooting in order to get her stuff back?

Open up Command Prompt (Run as Admin).

Type in net user user_name new_password.

If you would like to confirm the username, just do a net user to get a list of all the accounts.

You could also do net user user_name * /domain. You'll be asked to type in and confirm the password later.
