[SeraphSorcerer]

I was wiondering if it's possible to change just the name of The default Adminstraotr ccount it seems that last time, I just made a new Account..... Windows decided to quit giving me partitions to my new "Michael" Computer Administraot Account, and I had deleted the default one, After Crerating the new one, So, Does anyone know HOW to rename the "Administrator Account" and still retain full permisions

[Drewdatrip]

Well if i understand you corectly, just do this....

Start>Control panels>User Accounts>Change an Account>Select the one you want to change>"Change Name"

Simple..

Unfortuently for the Adminstraot account "Change name" Is *not* an option?!!

Create Password

Change Picture

Change .net password

I want to make the Default Account created "Administraotr, and Change it into my First name

Administrator -> Michael

Just the name And the settings with it

[babis]

log as an admin

01. Goto Start Menu :: Run

02. Type "control userpasswords2"

03. Pick whichever account you are talking about, and rename it.

Some Tips:

You might want to check

[b:807079a8ae]first one[/b:807079a8ae]

Local Security Policy under Administrative tools

It should be located in start menu (not really sure, I move a lot of stuff around ;-) )

[b:807079a8ae]second one[/b:807079a8ae]

when you goto the control userpasswords2 display

click advanced tab, click advanced button under advanced user management

I recommend just making a new account with Admin status,

I really wouldn't mess around with the default Administrator Account... (i leave that one in case I ever mess up my other accounts)

If Babis's solution doesn't work try this;

Go to user accounts and click on create new account.Type a name in the box,but don't use the same name as the administrator account you already have,you can change it to "Michael" later.

Click on next and put a dot next to "computer administrator",then click on create account.

Now delete the original administrator account,and then rename your newly created admin account by following Drews instructions in his earlier post.

Hope that helps.
