Its important to know if you have other MS Exchange Server using the same account. To find out if the admin account is the same account Exchange is using, go to control panel, services and look at the MS Exchange Services to see which account the services are using.

Once you have done that, modify your Exchange services to logon as the Exchange user. That way, when the exchange services start, it will start with the newly created username and not depend on the administrator's account. Test to see if it work, and if it does, (it should) go ahead and change he administrator's password.

I changed the NT4 administrator password and was unable to start exchange until I changed it back again. Does that mean I am using the same log in? (I have inherited a poorly documented system!!). If so, what is the best way of resolving the problem as I do need to change the administrator password?
