In addition, they can reset passwords, set policies and modifying the registry. The operating system identifies the tasks that require administrator permissions with an icon of Windows Security.

If your account is a standard user, you can only modify the password and the image of your account.Start the control panel, type user accounts in the upper right of search and then click on the first search of resultIn User Accounts control panel you can customize various aspects of your users and if you have administrative rights, you can manage user accounts for other security reasons well.For it is preferable not to use simple passwords like "123" or "password" as they can be easily guessed by others and may compromise the security of your system.
