How can a Windows 7 administrator change a user's password without losing saved data and Internet passwords?

There is a task for the OS Administrator to change the password of a Windows user, while the user's password is not known. The Microsoft
library states Note - when you log on as an administrator, you can create and change passwords for all user accounts on the computer and Warning - when you change the password of another account using an administrator account, all encrypted files or emails created with that user's account will no longer be available to that user. That is, when the password is changed in this way, the password is RESET, I also have other saved passwords and some data of the user whose password is being changed.
Interested in whether there are ways to change an unknown user password from an Administrator account without losing (all the items below together or separately:
a) encrypted data?
b) MS Outlook passwords, mapped network drives?
c) Internet passwords?
Is there a difference when changing (resetting) the password through the Control Panel or through the management of the Local Users and Groups snap-in?
If there are any methods for exporting and importing user access data to transfer them to his own account on another PC without transferring the entire profile?
Are there alternative ways to solve this problem using third-party software?

When you reset your password, you will only have _encrypted_ files / letters without access (an ordinary user does not use this from the word "generally"). All other saved passwords, etc. stay
