I rename the Administrator account as part of my OS configuration steps (I use one username for my desktop installs and another username for my server installs).

renuser Administrator “the-new-adminname” (download renuser from www.ntfaq.com)

reg ADD “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /V DefaultUserName /T REG_SZ /F /D “the-new-adminname”

reg ADD “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /V AltDefaultUserName /T REG_SZ /F /D “the-new-adminname”

net user /add Administrator “a-strong-password”

net user Administrator /active:no
