'''Procedure -'''
#Click on Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
#Click on Local Policies -> Security Options
#Rename as mentioned in screenshot below:<br>[[image:Admintoadmin.jpg]]<br>
#Check your typing very carefully! Take your time to read it aloud slowly letter by letter to avoid lazy brain syndrome for example. “a d m i n I s t r a t o r” and count 13 characters.
#After renaming, DON’T disconnect and reconnect to test. Check you can login with the changed username on a SECOND connection BEFORE you lose the working connection. If you cannot connect on the second connection then MAKE SURE you solve the problem using the first connection before closing it!
