If you didn't make the machine too secure, you can use the following trick :
logon as any user, rename logon.scr, copy cmd.exe to logon.scr, logoff, wait
until screensaver pops in and start your user manager to change the
appropriate accounts.
This only works with out-of-the-box 'security' settings. Good luck.
