Notes on protecting administrator accounts 
A user with administrator privileges has extensive access and manipulation options in the 
system. 
Therefore, ensure there are adequate safeguards for protecting the administrator accounts 
to prevent unauthorized changes. To do this, use secure passwords and a standard user 
account for normal operation. Other measures, such as the use of security policies, should 
be applied as needed.
