How do I change the administrator name on my PC?

Question

I took my PC to the fixit shop and they named my computer after my first and second names. Ive spent years keeping my name offline for security reasons, now its all over every file I open, create, save or send. I wanna change it to misterx or something else. Any clues folks?

Answer 1

Rename administrator account
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

Description
Determines whether a different account name will be associated with the security identifier (SID) for the account "Administrator." By associating the Administrator SID with another account, you will no longer have an account named "Adminstrator," which is often a point of attack by hackers.

You cannot change the name of Administrator coz it's a built-in account. What you can do is, you can cerate a new user and grant it as an administrator, means that username have the same rights as an administrator. You still can access administrator document folder and you may copy or move contents form that folder to your new document folder.
