Setting The Administrator Password

Universal steps

These steps work in every case as long as you're able to log in as an administrator.

1. Press Win-r . In the "Open:" field, type compmgmt.msc, and then press Enter. 
2. 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.

Alternate methods

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.
