Create an Administrator Account

Create an Administrator Account

 

  1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel.

2. Click the Add and Remove Users link under the User
Accounts and Family Safety heading to display the
Manage Accounts window.
The account created by default on your computer when you first
set it up is an administrator account.
3. Click the Create a New Account link, type the account’s
new name, and select the Administrator radio button.
4. Click the Create Account button. You see the new
account listed.
5. Use the new administrator account to install new software or hardware and make other significant changes to
your system.
You should restrict access to administrative functions to only the
users who truly need them. A user who makes a lot of changes or
installs or uninstalls a great deal of software needs to have an
administrative account. If he doesn’t, you probably shouldn’t give
him that level of control.
Some software requires a user to be the administrator on her computer in order to be able to use it. Check the software instructions
to see whether this is the case
