Windows 7 - Change Administrator account name

Yes, you can make another administrator account.

I actually have two, I am the only user. Just in case one gets corrupt or the password does not work.

I would try changing it back to Judy the same way you changed it before to see if it will.

Yes, you can have as many user accounts (administrator or standard) as you like on your computer.

thank you both for all your help! at least I didn't have to go through the enable/disable built-in administrator. It's a simple fix.
