It depends on whether or not that "someone" was a user or the administrator. If it was a user, then the administrator can override that password, create a new password, and not allow that user to change it again. I installed Windows 2000 on my daughters computer but only allow her to be a power user, not an administrator for good reason. The person must have administrator privileges to override the password of another user.
