Go into Documents (or your steam file directory), go to "My Games", go to "terraria", and copy+paste the files for chars and worlds onto a flash drive.
Then, move it to another computer's directory and put it in the folder you took it out of.

If you're talking about Steam account, then that is impossible as Terraria saves are saved into your user documents, regardless of which Steam account you're using.
If you're talking about user accounts (the one you use to log onto your PC), then that's possible.

To move your savefiles from PC to PC, or user to user (assuming Windows), go to your My Documents and look for the my games folder.
Inside that folder, you'll find several folders for some of your various games, for example:
Now, copy the Terraria folder and move it to another location that is not specific to your account. On Windows, you can simply move it onto another disk (ie. another partition or a USB drive) or into the Public User folder at:
C:UsersPublic
Now, log onto the account (or place your USB with the Terraria save folder into another PC) that you want to move the save to, and simply drop it back into that user's my Games folder.
Replace/Delete any existing files and you should then be good to go.
Remember as always, DO NOT REPLACE OR COPY SAVE FILES WHILE THE GAME IS RUNNING, or you may risk corruption.

The only way I know how to is to do a thing where one account can play 2 account's games. I don't know how to do it but you can look it up. But an easier way is to log into the account you're supposed to be on. If you don't remember your password or username, click "forgot your password?" or "forgot your username?"
