How to rename the administrator account?

How to rename the administrator account?

1. Click the Start button.
2. Right-click My Computer and, from the shortcut menu, choose Manage.
3. When the Computer Management window opens, go to Local Users and Groups | Users.
4. Right-click the Administrator account and, from the shortcut menu, choose Rename.
5. Type the new name you want to use for the Administrator account.
(As an additional step, you could also create a dummy account named Administrator that actually has no rights on the system. Again, this will not deter determined hackers, but is another wall you can throw up on their trail.)
