I have a password on my computer and can login in using it. However I recently found out that you can get into my computer by typing "Administrator" as the user name and entering the password I created when i isntalled windows XP Pro. How can I remove or change that password. As my friend knows it and is able to get into my computer. Please help!!

Log on as the Administrator.

Open Administrative Tools, Computer Management.

Under Local Users, open Users.

Change the Administrator Password.

A bit of additional info. It isn't good to delete the original administrator account. If something happens to the account you're currently using you can allways use the admin account to start over.
