Useful for when a user reports an issue with a specific user account. I can put this on the server and quickly log in to the user's account.

There's plenty out there that are either more efficient or more secure, but as a fire and delete script it does the job. Simply stick on the server, change the ID to the user's account, browse to the script and then delete afterwards.
