To find SID of users, open registry editor and click HKEY_USERS in left pane to expand it. There in left pane itself you will find the SID of users.

Thanks for your reply, first of all I want to know which security ID belongs to which user.. yes as u said in HK _users the IDs like "S-1-5-21-484763869-1993962763-1343024091-1003" are there. Exactly I want to know which user's ID is this....thank you once again...

If you don't wanna use third party software, here is an another method----->

Open regedit and goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\ProfileList

Click on any of key on the left [SID] and check out the right pane for ProfileImagePath. Now you should find something as following there:

%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\madman

Now "madman" (as in above line) is the name of the account associated with the SID you selected in the left pane.

Another way to do the same is using scripting (If you do not know scripting, do tell me)

We use a script similar to this, which returns the SID for the user aaa with an account in the bbb domain:
__________________________________________________ _______________
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objAccount = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_UserAccount.Name='aaa',Domain='bbb'")
Wscript.Echo objAccount.SID
__________________________________________________ _______________

Incidentally, this works just as well for local user accounts. The only difference is that you don’t specify a domain name for the Domain parameter; instead, you specify the name of the local computer. For example, this script returns the SID for the local user account aaa on the computer atl-ws-01:
__________________________________________________ _______________
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objAccount = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_UserAccount.Name='aaa',Domain='atl-ws-01'")
Wscript.Echo objAccount.SID
__________________________________________________ _______________

Of course, it’s possible that you might need to go the other direction; that is, you might have a SID and need to know which account that SID belongs to.
__________________________________________________ _______________
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objAccount = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_SID.SID='S-1-5-21-1454471165-1004336348-1606980848-5555'")
Wscript.Echo objAccount.AccountName
Wscript.Echo objAccount.ReferencedDomainName

You can use Registry Editor
But read thise first

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows to correct them.Believ me,Even Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved "make a reasearch if you don't believe" So Use this tool at your own risk.

1.Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \ProfileList
2.Under the ProfileList key, you will see the SIDs. By selecting each one individually, you can look at the value entry and see what user name is associated with that particular SID.Make sure you don't change anything

This page worked well for me when trying to figure out how to do this on Windows 7. All commands are already built into the OS which is great for situations where 3rd party software is undesirable (or prohibited).

http://www.windows-commandline.com/get-sid-of-user/

Basically I use WMIC to get the results I'm looking for. To get a list of all users on a W7 box and their SIDs, I run this command.

wmic useraccount get name,sid
Name SID
Administrator (SID will appear here)

Be advised this didn't work for me when using PowerShell. I had to use the trusty old Command Prompt (cmd.exe). Also be sure to run as Administrator to avoid getting privilege denial messages.

Hi! If you want to use the command line to get your SID, this might be helpful to you :

Get SID of a local user :-
Go to the commandline and enter:
------------------------------------------------------
wmic useraccount where name='username' get sid
------------------------------------------------------

For example, to get the SID for a local user with the login name ‘Ankit’, the command would be as below
------------------------------------------------------
wmic useraccount where name='Ankit' get sid
------------------------------------------------------

If you do not know your username and you want to find it on the terminal itself then please enter the following:-
------------------------------------------------------
wmic useraccount where name='%username%' get sid
------------------------------------------------------
