Cannot remove the XP user account

This is a limited account that I need is no longer. I already deleted the password. Everything else works fine. I use a good antivirus and scan for viruses and spyware regularly. I'm the only user on the computer, so I don't know what could be the problem. I have no other problems at all. However, when I log on as an administrator and try to delete this unused account my computer just hangs. I get an error message "not responding". I get the same result if I choose "keep files" or delete files. I deleted the unused accounts of my computer before without problem. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Try to remove the user from the register under the list of profiles using regedit.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID >

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk...

I hope this helps.

  • Cannot remove the old user account (admin)

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "the retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    I have two admin accounts, an 'old' I do not use and a more current that I use.

    I want to delete the 'old' admin account, but I get an error message: "cannot delete user... account error backup in the home folder for this user."

    Here are the steps I followed:

    1. System Preferences-> users and groups

    2. click on unlock icon; authentication with username and password

    3. click on the 'old' user account and click on the button "-" to remove it.

    4. Select the option "save the home folder in a disk image", then click on remove the user

    5. for the moment, he says 'delete account '.

    6 then I get the error message.

    I know that I could choose the second option (in step 4), but I really want to move the old files of the user users users/Deleted.

    Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

    The first thing that comes to mind is the following: is there enough room for the disc to be created image and put in files? The files are not moved from the reader to the disk image, they are copied. Then for a time in the account to be deleted files will be on the computer two times. The second thing that comes to mind is that there is a directory of the hard drive problem. If you do not have enough space and is my first problem, start the recovery partition and use the directory of disk to repair the drive. And the third thing that might be the cause of the problem is a bad file that cannot be copied to the disk image. It will be difficult to understand because basically, you will need to open each file to find the one that is perhaps incorrect.

  • How to remove the Standard user account password

    I am the only person to use my computer, as recommended that I've set up an admin and the standard user account. The admin is password protected, the standard user does not have to be. I accidentally answered a guest orders and entered a password and want to remove it.  When I try to remove it, I get the message windows cannot remove the password.     How can I remove this password?  I must stress that it is Windows 7.

  • delete, disable, remove the guest user account

    Hello

    I came across a lot of similar questions asked about deletion/deletion/disabling guest user account. the posted questions earlier and google has not provided me with answers specific questions.

    first of all, I know now that the guest user account is a system file that should not be deleted.
    1. Why is this?

    I enabled/activated the account invited for a day and people with mobility reduced/turned off later. I asked before and got a response that I should not have allowed the first guest account.
    2. Why is it?
    3. What's the harm in having activated once the guest account?

    the record of the guest user now appears in the c:\users\ location. It was not before but the fact now since that once I enabled guest account.
    4. do one thing 'ok' or is it a bad thing?
    5. What are the policies on the restoration of windows and system folders without having to reinstall the windows operating system?

    and finally
    6. in case the guest user account has been disabled/disabled, windows remove settings for it and wipe this account?

    Thanks in advance, forward your answers.

    Hello

    A guest account allows people to have temporary access to your computer. People using the guest account cannot install software or hardware, change settings, or create a password.

    Once the guest account is enabled, you will see the comments folder in the users folder and you will not be able to remove it. And when also disable you the folder of comments will be present, but it will not be enough space.

    If the comments have saved any file on your computer, it will be present in the folder of comments, it won't cause damage to your other user accounts.

    When I download Firefox on Windows 8, I can't go past the control window user account. I answered Yes and no. It shows Firefox in my downloads, but it doesn't start. Any ideas?

    The downloaded file contained the word "stub" in its name? This Setup needs to connect to the Internet to download additional files, which may get blocked. You could try the 'full' Downloader instead. Scroll to your language:

  • How to remove the called user account?

    Original title: user accounts

    I recently had to reinstall win 7.  After I did, I realized that I had spelled his name wrong.  I created a new account and transferred his previous info to his new account.  Unfortunately, I got it back and now when I go to the login screen I have my account (Administrator) and "other users".  I tried to re create a new user account, but all attempts failed.  The accounts are in the system, but will not be displayed on the logon screen.  When I try to go through the other user, he asks a password, that there is none. What I did and how can I fix it?  In cmd, it shows the user account I newly created

    When you go to 'other users', you can type the user name and leave the password empty (if there really was none) and click Enter to connect.

    But to restore the screen so that it shows all the user to click icons, see this answer:

  • Portege R500 - cannot remove the password user and supervisor

    Hoping someone can help me with a problem,

    I voluntarily put a password for user and supervisor on one of our Portege R500.
    I know what the password is, but I just want to remove so that I am not prompted for the password whenever the laptop is turned on.

    I seem to be unable to disable this feature, which is a problem that the laptop is about to be reassigned to a differnet use that would be impractical for users to have to put a password on startup.

    He must have a way to disable the password requirement.

    Of course, you can disable this password. Just use the same way you used to.
    It can be done using Toshiba Assist > Secure. You used this way to get into these options, you?

  • Cannot remove a disabled user account

    Hiya!

    When I start my laptop I have three accounts, the one I use for my family when they really need to use, special guests and another account. That other account still connect for some reason, but when I click it, it said: your account has been disabled, please consult your system administrator.

    Now, I wanted to delete this account because it is causing trouble, but it does not appear in Control Panel. What can I do?

    Well I close my laptop, it brought on the day before, and then when I open it it will show me to select the account (as you would with any account that has a password), and underneath it says connected. I don't think this is supposed to be like that tho.

    If I turn my phone it will say: there are other connected users, they might lose data and whatever.

    OK, we're going to investigate this mysterious account. Please follow these steps:

    1. Click the start planet.
    2. Type cmd.exe in the search box and press enter
    3. Type the following commands exactly and press ENTER after each one:
      Set Log="%UserProfile%\Desktop\Log.txt".
      setting user > Log %
      NET users > Log %
      net users
      (now remember the name of the account involved in the list. "I'll call it xxx.)
      NET user "xxx" > Log %
      net localgroup administrators > Log %
      c:\Users dir > Log %
      Log %
    4. Mark and copy the text that you see and then paste in your response.
    5. Restart in Mode safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    Hi Barry,.

    the InContext Editing service has expirenced some short downtime due to infrastructure problems and it is possible that you tried in the minutes...

    Now, the service is running. I just created an account and it works beautifully.

    Could you please try again see if it now works for you also?

    Thank you

    Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

    Note also that:
    -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
    -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.
