Is there a tool or a trick to easily duplicate a windows profile?

My problem is that I have a local user profile and I like to copy that for another user.

Additionaly that profile was created locally when a domain-user logged in, and I like to create a copy of that profile for a non-domain-user.

Hope it's clear what my problem is. Thank you for reading!

I've just seen there is a similar question: Copy Windows 7 profile from one domain user to another

Now I like to know if it is possible to simply change the user-profile's Name and Password. Is this somehow possible?
