How To Find Or Change The Windows Computer Administrator

Computers are set up with an administrator, and it is especially useful when you are working in a work environment. An administrator is free to block any online site or to prevent any file or folder from opening. A computer administrator is a person who administers or handles it. To change the administrator setting of the computer, a user must hold administrator privileges. There are many ways to find or change a system admin through the setting.
