Re: Change Admin Password



Any user account can have its password changed, and for any
of them the potential issues are the same, namely what might
be programmed somewhere to use the account that needs to
know of the correct, new password. These usually come down
to the main areas of: scheduled tasks started as the account,
services defined to run in the account, and sometimes mapped
drives that are defined to be persistent.
