Microsoft Windows operating systems feature relatively secure password protected account access to the resources on the computer. Administrator accounts are the only accounts that have full access to the entire system, and therefore should be rarely used and the password changed periodically. If the administrator password is changed and then forgotten, there is a procedure available that will reset the administrator account password back to the previous password.
