Admin access to password protected regular user account

How do I access a password protected regular user account on my computer? I
am the Administrator, and I want to access the account without changing or
deleting the regular account password.

Hello.

As an administrator, you should be able to access any of the data of
the regular user account. Was there something specific you wanted to
see?

You would have to take ownership of the accounts profile, thereby
locking out the user. This is a deliberate design feature, so that
users will know if unscrupulous administrators have been snooping.
