This wikiHow teaches you how to look up the Security Identifier (SID) of another user on a Windows PC.
Press ⊞ Win+X. This opens the Windows “power user” menu at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Click Command Prompt (Admin). A confirmation message will appear.
Click Yes. Now you'll see a terminal window displaying the command prompt.
Type WMIC useraccount get name,sid. This is the command to display the SIDs of all user accounts on the system. If you know the person's username, use this command instead: wmic useraccount where name="USER" get sid (but replace USER with the username).
Press ↵ Enter. The SID is the long number that appears after each username.
