2. At first, in the era of DOS operating system, this word was rarely used, but in Windows NT and later Windows series systems, the user name "Administrator" was used as the default administrator. Later, in order to save trouble, it was simply abbreviated as "admin", and all kinds of words that needed authentication gradually became the default user name.
The abbreviation of administrator is admin, which means "system administrator" in Chinese. The so-called "super user". The administrator is the person whose authority is not controlled in the computer;
4. After installing XP system on each computer, in addition to your new account, a built-in account named administrator will be automatically created to manage the computer (domain), which is usually hidden. It means computer administrator, who has the highest authority of computer management, and all our new accounts are derived from it.
5. It is mainly used to enter the administrator account when the problem cannot be solved in general use, and any operation is allowed here (generally, you can always press F8 to enter when booting in safe mode, and select safe mode). Its password is empty by default, which can be set in Control Panel-User Accounts. It is recommended to set it.
When choosing to log in to the user interface after booting, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the user login box, and enter the administrator and password (if there is no password, you don't need to enter it) to enter the administrator account.
Administrators are usually responsible for editing and sorting.
6. Safety measures
edit
One of the common hacking methods is to try to get the password of the administrator account. Each computer needs at least one account with administrator rights, but it is not necessary to use the name "Administrator". Therefore, whether in XP Home or Pro, it is best to create another account with full permissions, and then disable the administrator account. In addition, in WinXP Home, modify the default owner account name. Finally, don't forget to set complicated passwords for all accounts.
7. How to rename the administrator account? There are three ways to achieve this, as follows:
[1] Method 1: In Windows XP system, the "Administrator" account has the highest system authority, and sometimes we have to use it.
But it's inconvenient because the name is too long. Just enter gpedit.msc from Run and open the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration /Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policy/Security Options, find "Account: Rename System Administrator Account" at the bottom of the right window, and double-click to open and modify it!
Method 2: Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage". After opening Computer Management, select Local Users and Groups.
The "Users" in the window on the right will show all the accounts in your computer! After finding "Administrator", right click, select "Rename" and enter the name you want!
Method 3: Press the "win" key or click the open menu with the mouse to open the control panel. Then open "System and Security \ Management Tools" in turn (here is a shortcut to the manager in windows32), and double-click "Local Security Policy" to open the window. Open "Local Policy \ Security Options" in turn, find the file "Account: Rename System Administrator Account" in all files of the security policy, and double-click it to rename it.
8. User downgrade
edit
In the Windows operating system, the administrator is the most advanced user, which is invisible in the normal login mode, so it is easy to ignore the security problems brought by the administrator user. [2]
The initial password of the administrator user is empty. If there is no firewall installed, it is easy for hackers to enter your computer through the administrator account. It's too late to do anything at this time.
In fact, this is not downgrading, but creating a fake administrator user without actual rights.
The specific operation is as follows: log in to windows with a non-administrator account, and then open: Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Local Users and Groups-Users, delete the administrator user, and then create a new administrator user. Right-click to set the password and make it belong to the lowest user group, and check whether the account has been deactivated in the properties.
Find the administrator of the login interface for related pictures.
Press ctrl+alt+del twice in the login interface, and a regular dialog box for entering user name and password will appear, and then log in with the administrator's user name.
Login Control Panel-User Account-Change login and logout options, and remove the check in front of "Use Welcome Screen", so that a traditional login prompt will appear when logging in, asking for a user name and password.
Delete another user, leaving only one super user administrator in the system. This will naturally show the administrator account when logging in. To delete another user, you can use Start-Run-Enter "Control User Password2" and then delete the corresponding user in the dialog box that appears.
9. Get your account back
edit
Under Windows XP, if a new unrestricted user (computer administrator) is established, there will be no login entrance for the administrator super user the next time you log in to the computer. Although there is an administrator user at present (such as "123"), in some cases, you must log in with an administrator account. What should I do? Let's get it back. [3]
First log in with the account of the existing computer administrator (such as "123"), then open the control panel, and click Performance and Maintenance → Management Tools → Computer Management in the classified view (if it is a classic view, directly find the management tools in the control panel window, and then double-click to find them. Did you get a look at him? The administrator account number is here:). Double-click Local Users and Groups, and then click Users. Disable or delete the "123" account on the right (that is, the current computer administrator account) (there will be a warning message when deleting the current account, just click "Yes"). The disabled "123" account should have a red cross in front of it. This will log in as an administrator account again.
In addition, if you use the XP home version of the system, this version of the system itself has no "local users and groups". Under the Windows XP Home Edition system, you can try the following operations to open Local Users and Groups:
Start-Run-Enter "lusrmgr.msc"-Enter.
