The Windows administrator account has maximum rights. For this reason, it is extremely vulnerable to other users. The Windows operating system itself also has certain "holes" and flaws that further increase this vulnerability. Therefore, it is imperative to improve the security of this account, for example, by renaming or changing the password.
Necessary
Windows computer
Instructions
Step 1
To change the administrator account, left-click "My computer (Computer) -> Management". In the console, select Local Users and Groups. Expand the list by clicking on the plus sign.
Step 2
The Windows administrator account is assigned the standard name Administrator, which does not increase the security against intruders and hackers. Therefore, it is better to rename it. To do this, double-click the left mouse button on the name of the account, then enter a new name and press the Enter key (or click the mouse in the free area of the console).
Step 3
To change the password, click on the administrator account and select Set Password, then enter the password and confirmation. Then click OK. The password will be changed. After that, it is best to restart your computer.
Step 4
Other tasks of changing the account are done right there. Right click on the account and select Properties. On the "Groups" tab, you can optionally change the groups (add or remove) that the administrator is a member of, and on the "Profile" tab, specify the path to the home folder, as well as those drives that you want to connect automatically at login.
