As seen on my previous post, if i can find out the "all in one password" i might be able to beat my admin in our challenge!

You do not need an "all-in-one" password if you have the capability to either change or delete any password you want. Beware the IT guy!

Usually the admin has his own password and he can use HIS account to access any PC (domain administrators can do this easily).
Also the admin can reset any password for any user (he can reset it but cannot know what it was in the first place.
