When the user performs a more important operation, the system will pop up a dialog box asking the user to confirm, which is related to The identity of the administrator is very disproportionate.
Of course, you do not need to reinstall the server version of Windows Vista 5342, first log out of the system (choose the "Log Off" in the "Start" menu), then use the "Administrator" account to log in to the system, note The initial password is empty, now you are the real system administrator.
