Log in as Administrator (not the visible username.) Then change
the user's password back to something useful.

(ctl-alt-delete twice on the login page gives you the menu that
has Administrator on it. It would take a fairly canny person to
realize that there is an Administrator account to be changed. This
works on XP, at least. I suspect it works on newer versions, too.)
