Question about Win7 Password

Again, you can do what I did. Download and make the backup with this. You can back up on DVD's a lot cheaper than an external hard drive but a bigger pain, too.

There is no perfect method, but in my opinion, the additional adm account, proper maintenance, the hard drive back up, a good antivirus and the use of malwarebytes, you will be ok.

As far as being concerned, we are both the same in that respect, so I understand.

Thank you very much for the information and the links! I'll bookmark this and keep it all in mind for when/if I get the time to do it.

The person who first made me worried explained to me that he actually meant to not change the password in the hidden admin account. They explained that I can do whatever I want in the regular admin user account but not the hidden one.

Now that you explained in a little more detail, I agree. The hidden Admin account is an emergency use account. You change it, and use it as little as possible.
