Change NT Administrator Password

Hi,

Due to a securtity breach I need to change the administrator password.

Are there any major issues I need to be aware of?

I have checked all service accounts and made them good. I have a few SQL DB's that have domain/administrator as the owner. What will happen to these?

How is user manager/server manager controlled? I need to make sure these cant be accessed from client machines with the NT tools installed.

My plan is to disable the account and create a new one and put that in domain admins. This way I can set it all back if eveything starts to crash around my ears!

I'll split points to anyone who can give me any decent suggestions.

Thanks Experts!
