Universal steps
- Press Win-r .
In the "Open:" field, type compmgmt.msc, and then press Enter.
- Double-click the Users folder.
On the right, in the list of local users, right-click the account name for
the Administrator account, and select Set Password.
Note: On some computers, the account will
not be named "Administrator" because the owner or administrator
either changed that name or added administrative accounts with different
usernames. In either case, you will need to know which of the accounts in the
list is the designated Administrator account.
You can also change the administrator password using the "User
Accounts" control in the Control Panel. Some users may prefer this method
to the universal steps above. Follow the instructions below for your situation
and operating system.
