To remove the administrator password in Windows, you can either change the password to be blank using the "netplwiz" command or by using the "Sign-in options" in the Settings app. Alternatively, you can use the Control Panel to remove the password through the User Accounts section.
Method 1: Using netplwiz
Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R.
Type "netplwiz" and press Enter.
In the User Accounts window, select your administrator account.
Uncheck the box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".
Click Apply.
Enter your current administrator password and click OK to confirm.
Method 2: Using Sign-in options in Settings
Open the Settings app (Windows key + I).
Go to Accounts > Sign-in options.
Under Password, click "Change".
Enter your current password and click Next.
Leave the "New password" and "Confirm password" fields blank, and click Next.
Click Finish.
Method 3: Using the Control Panel
Open the Control Panel.
Go to User Accounts > User Accounts.
Click on "Manage another account".
Select your administrator account.
Click on "Remove the password".
Enter your current password and click "Remove Password".
