Explanation

For security, you will have to rename the Administrator account and disable the Guest account. Renaming the Administrator account will ensure that hackers do not break into the network or computer by guessing the password of the Administrator account. You can also create a fake Administrator account that has no privileges and audit its use to detect attacks. Disabling the Guest account will prevent users who do not have a domain or local user account from illegally accessing the network or computer. By default, the Guest account is disabled on systems running Windows 2000 Server. If the Guest account is enabled, you will have to disable it.
