Politely ask your son for the password. If he refuses, sign on
as the Administrator and delete his account, then create a
Limited User account for him. Be forewarned, your son will
likely have issues with you if you do this.

Why delete his account? Can't you just change it to a "limited
account" and, for that matter, give him a new password. That way,
he'll have to come back to you for the password and you haven't
deleted all his data. In short, you've done nothing irreversible.
