How To Change The Administrator Password In Windows

The Windows operating system lets you add various User Accounts to your computer. This helps you grant different access permissions to different users. Users can have different computer configurations and user settings on the same computer. This feature comes handy, especially on computers, which are shared. The Administrator account on a computer has no restrictions for accessing the data and information.
It is possible to create more than one administrator account in a single computer. This feature helps you grant access to more than one administrator on the same computer. Sometimes, one might get into trouble if they forget the password of one of the administrator accounts. In such cases, you can log in to one of the other administrator accounts and change the password of the other. Following are the Windows Tech Support guidelines for resetting the administrator password in case you have forgotten it.
Instructions 

• Turn on your computer. When the login screen appears, enter the Username and Password for the user account that has Administrative rights. This is the default login option in most computers.
• Go to the Start menu located on your Windows taskbar and click on Run. This opens the Run dialog box. 
• Type control userpasswords2 into the text field and click the Ok button. This opens the User Accounts window. It contains a list of user accounts stored in your computer. You can modify the settings of these user accounts as required.
• Click the Users tab to see the list of user accounts. Choose the desired user account for which you need to change the password, and click on the Reset Password button.
• You will be prompted to enter a new password in the next dialog box. Enter a desired password in the text box labeled New Password. Enter the same password again in the confirmation text box. 
• Make sure that you enter a strong password that is also easy to remember. Try to create a password that includes a combination of letters, numbers and characters for more security.
• Click the OK button.
• Shut down your Windows computer and turn it on again. Enter the new password for the user account for which you changed the password. You should now be able to login using the new password. 

Take caution while sharing your password with unknown users or over the internet. For more assistance, contact the Windows Tech Support center.
