Edit contacts using Profile

I think this is easy - but I'm blanking at the moment.

I want to use a profile for data entry. So a user can enter a contact ID number into a form and it will bring them to profile edit page pre-populated with that users data (not the logged in user).

I thought that was as easy as appending &cid=123456 at the end, but apparently not. I just get the logged in users data. Any ideas?

use: id=123456 instead of cid

note that the user needs to have permission to view/edit the contact
