You will have a task ahead of you....
Some programs require you to "hardcode" your admin password during
installation to give it rights to do things to your system.
For example:
--> Veritas Backup - if you used the admin account for this
installation, you will have to redesignate the account.
--> AntiVirus also has this
Other programs that you have keyed in the administrator account would
also be suspect.
But really it isn't too bad. As long as you change the password and
can still get into the machine you can correct anything that isn't
working properly.
one hint - another account that has Domain Admin membership and local
log on rights to the console would be good to have in a just in case
senario.
Cheers,
those be my thoughts.

I would like to change my administrator password but I am not sure what the
ramifications will be. I have been looking at all of the services that load
with SBS and I am somewhat overwhelmed. What is the difference between
logging a service using "local account" verses using the "NT Authority"
logon? What other types of issues might I encounter by changing my
administrator password?
