Don't you have a dictionary ?
In which way does your question relate to wikipedia project ?


Administrator:
   Some one who direct and manage an organisation, a community.

Sysop:
  Means "SYStem OPerator" an administrator of a computer service, be it 
a server, a forum or a wiki.

Basicly administrator is used widely, whereas sysop is almost only used 
in the computer field.
