Changing the Server/VPS Password
Important: Your password is your first line of defense so make sure it is a strong one. Use a combination of upper/lower case letters, numbers, and special symbols, and make it at least 10 characters long
Changing your Administrator password on Windows 2022 can be done using various methods, but we have identified two particularly straightforward approaches that we consider the easiest:
Method one: Utilizing the Control Panel
Method two: Via Ctrl-Alt-End (on a PC) or Fn+Control+Option+Delete (on a Mac)
Log in to the desired server as an administrator.
To open Windows Settings, type the word Settings in the search bar located on the taskbar. Alternatively, click Start > Settings.
Click Accounts.
