  2. How to change Administrator's name


    Just checking things and comparing the admin settings on my Acer laptop which does not require a password I found that the name Acer LT is listed as local administrator. Therefore I'm thinking if I set up another user account, then make that account administrator, it too will then be a local administrator. Thus not requiring a password.

    Any thoughts on that?

    DP.

  3. How to change Administrator's name


    *chuckleTo anyone who wants to change administrator password, just follow these easy steps.

    Its a little difficult in windows 10 as compared to windows 7 for new users.

    1) Go to settings from "WINDOWS" option.

    2) Then select "System".

    3) scroll to the bottom on the left side and select " ABOUT".

    4) Select "System Info" on the right side. ( New window will pop up).

    5) Click on "Control Panel" and select "Change account type" under User Accounts.

    6) Select your desired account to change name. ( now it is similar to windows 7 ).

    Thankyou.*chuckle
