Using the terminal, and root access, you can do anything to any user's

the root account. This gets set when you set a password for system wide
access.
The su commmand will allow you to become root on your box. Do not use
the su command unless you *have* to. It's easy to wipe out an entire
drive if you type the wrong command. Trust me, root access is dangerous,
even if you do know what you're doing. I've accidentally killed users
accounts before by typing the wrong command when I thought I was
somewhere else in the file system. Needless to say, it's not exactly the
best feeling to report to someone that there was an accident, and they're
gone from the system. Of course regular backups will help with this, but
often, users don't backup, and loosing things they had on a system
doesn't make them very happy.
