How do you change it ? Is it in administrative tools under users and right click and reset ?

Goto Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Localusers and Groups --> Users --> Right click Administrator --> Set Password.

Answer 1 only works if you are changing the local administrator password of a Win2K stand-alone or member server.

If the server is a Domain Controller, local accounts (to include the administrator account) no longer exist. Only domain accounts exist. You must use the Active Directory Users and Computers management console to change the administrator password.
