Web Server Management Series: 8, modify the default Administrator account

Source: Internet
Author: User

By default, the server's administrator's account is administrator, which is easily guessed by hackers, who use brute force tools to hack the account.

Now all we have to do is modify this default account:

Open Service Manager and click Configure node:

Click Local Users and Groups-〉 users:

The guest user is going to be disabled, and below we modify the name of the administrator user:

We renamed administrator to admin:

This way our account is much safer, and the hacker will guess your user name in addition to guessing your password, which is a very crashing thing for him.

The password of the user must be complex to recommend using: English case + number + special characters.
