Re: Secure way of renaming Administrator account
Well,
To say there's a proper way: I'm not sure.
However, I do think that renaming it can secure up it from probers on the internet/LAN networks who just try to connect or force the account name Administrator's password remotely.
If the attacker has physical access, and is very savvy at all, then renaming the administrator account will make little difference.
I don't think you need to get super complex with your name, just make it something that isn't super generic: i.e. admin, superuser, etc.
