Accounts: Rename administrator account

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

Description

Determines whether a different account name is associated with the security identifier (SID) for the account "Administrator." Because the Administrator account is known to exist on all Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows XP Professional computers, renaming the account makes it slightly more difficult for unauthorized persons to guess this privileged user name and password combination.

Default: Administrator.
