Local Admin password

[Guest]

Hello,

I have an old win2k server on which somebody changed the default
administrator name to something that starts with @. When I type @xxxxx in the
username filed, the workgroup/domain field gets grayed out. Also, even if i
log on localy with a different admin username and I reset the password for
the @xxxx account, even though the system said it accepted it, when I try it,
it doesn't work. Is there a special setting about this admin name that starts
with @?

rename the account while your logged on as the alternate admin.
