Delete other accounts

I have an administrator and a regular account set up.  I want to delete, and one account with all privileges.  How can I do?

My advice: don't.

It is best to have several accounts in case one goes bad and it's preferable to use the daily life of a non-administrator.  More difficult to 'make a mistake and get dirty all bad.'

I would even do a second account of administrative level with a different password than the first.

  • no administrator account - cannot remove other accounts

    recently to create new account on the computer form ym administrator accont and tried to make one of them administrator instead of mine. somehow, that didn't work now none of the administrator account, all are standard. I am trying to delete other accounts, but I can't because it is written enter administrator password, but it does not work. I don't have the fingerprint reader because I hated that and I can't put it back on because, once more, do not have the apparent administrator password to put it on. What can I do to create an account administrator or make it mine admin again?

    Your post is quite dispersed and hard to read, but consider that most of the problem is that you have not all administrator accounts. The first thing to try is to start safe mode. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Sign in (password will be white) and then go to control panel > user accounts and make changes to the user to other accounts on the system. You can then follow the General instructions for setting up user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and whether taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) or a knowledgeable friend is the best solution for you.

    If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled.

    1. you will need to use NTpasswd to enable (disabled by default) built-in Administrator account and set a password to null (empty). Allowing this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so that you can then connect.

    http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    Download CD (.iso) image and burn as an image, not as data. You will need a third party burning software. Then boot with the CD that you created and follow the directions. After you are done with NTpasswd, remove the CD and restart the computer. Log on to the administrator account that you enabled.

    2. Once you have logged on to the built-in Administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts and make changes as you wish. I suggest making an account administrative 'tech': call 'Tech' or 'CompAdmin' - at this time there. See the end of this post for creating users in Vista.

    3 log on the built-in Administrator account and CompAdmin. While in CompAdmin, turn off the account administrator for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    Setting up users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • 24.5.0 - deleted mail account and have problems with a new false folder

    Hello

    I've been messing around with my Thunderbird data, so this problem is of my own making I think.

    I deleted an e-mail account using my provider configuration area. It was an e-mail account that I had set up initially at his accession to this provider and contained only test messages etc and was therefore no other use.

    I had implemented this e-mail in Thunderbird and after deleting the account with my ISP I then removed the account in Thunderbird. Everything seemed to be OK.

    Now, to confuse the issues. I had already set up a list of folders under local folders for emails filtered into Thunderbird - I now moved their in my main account by click/drag and drop on the name of the account. Although it has taken a lot of time (and unexpectedly used a huge amount of bandwidth), the operation seemed at last to the end (even though it was really hard to determine until I finally found the activity monitor).

    Now, to the point of this ad:

    After all the above, I discovered that a false file was created under the Inbox of my main account, called "new % 20Folder = 0' that I read in the new folder-0. I don't know at what point in the above that this issue has appeared, but I * think * I must have dragged / dropped one of my folder moves on the Inbox instead of the account name field.

    Now, dear readers, if you've got so far, most of my problem. I can not remove this folder when I try, I get the message

    The current operation on the "new % 20folder-0"failed." The e-mail server for the account * answered the folder does not exist.

    I tried a bunch of things, change the settings in its properties, etc, but I have no reason to delete.

    Question is: How can I remove it?

    I'd do it:

    (a) check on the website of the the email provider to check if he had copied here and cope. Your mention of bandwidth suggests it is an IMAP-connected account.

    (b) close Thunderbird, open their profile , and delete the offending file there. You need to browse your profile for a while understand its structure before doing anything rash.

    In General, I discourage users to drag files just as you did. By all means, drag the content (even better, use to select, then right click and "copy to" or "move to"), but moving files is IMHO indefinite operation with unpredictable results. I've heard talk of users move a folder from one account to another and find that it always associated with (i.e. "belongs to") the original account.

  • Cannot delete the account of a user with administrator rights

    I want to remove a user who has administrator rights account.  Win XP machine has two users (Administrator and a user name) that both are of type of administrator account.

    I you as an administrator and should be able to change the other named to Limited user account, but for Limited is greyed out.  The option to delete the named account is not present.

    How can I delete this account, leaving only administrator?

    Often, I find that using the command line commands gives errors better when you can not do something.  Try the following:

    o bring a window prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd")

    o enter the following command in the window:

    net localgroup administrators

    o that it must return a list of all users with administrator privileges.  You should see the built-in user 'Administrator' and your other user (assuming that both have administrator privileges).  To remove administrator privileges from the user (assuming that this another username is "Joe"), then enter the following command:

    net localgroup administrators Joe/remove

    If this is not possible, an error no doubt will provide you with enough information.

  • Cannot change or delete the account

    I need the clouds to the top, so I decided to use Dell Data Backup and Recovery. When installing, I typed my email address in evil. Now, I can't activate or delete the account. Even after uninstalling and re - install, my computer remains linked to an account that would never work, because he has a wrong email address and therefore cannot be activated. Dell technical support gave me a phone number to call (1-866-622-1947), but this number is only a recording saying that no one is available to take my call. There is nothing in the Help menu on how to delete an account. What am I supposed to do?

    I found that Dell is totally unable to diagnose or repair problems with the backup, I worked with them for more than a week on this subject.   The best bet is CLEVERBRIDGE that manages ecommerce your money because they don't know how to get Dell to answer or the other.

    The Dell support of front-line guys said to remove and reinstall the product reauthorize the prime key of course who has ZERO to do with permission of cloud stuff.

    CLEVERBRIDGE customer support is 1-866-522-6855

    They were also to make Dell but it does not appear that everyone at Dell know or care about what happens with the backup of cloud and it is sorely lacking of any opportunity to change, cancel, change, etc. one of the account settings.    This product does not seem to be really well thought out.

  • Cannot delete user accounts

    While trying to understand why some programs would not load on my account a couple of different "technicians decided to create new user accounts to see if they would load on the new user account."  After you have determined that they would not, they let the user accounts it and no matter what I do, I was unable to remove these user accounts.

    Accounts have been set up as standard accounts.  I am the administrative account only.  It gives me an error message; It is not only to remove the account.  It is said that it can be files and application if I want to delete the files in the account, to which I answer, Yes and then say to delete the account and it doesn't.  I have a desktop Dell Vostro220s, 32-bit.

    Thank you

    N ° maybe I did something wrong.  Your orders are a little difficult to follow.  I wasn't sure whether to use parentheses or put spaces...

    I'm sorry.

    Lines in parentheses are indicative. The other, you must type exactly as they are, without add, change, or remove anything.
  • Deleted user account continues to reappear

    I continually deleted a particular user account (this is a standard user account) but it reappears constantly.  Now I have 6 of these identities - each named Joseph Corona.Rhonda - PC; Joseph Corona.Rhonda - PC.000; Joseph Corona.Rhonda - PC.001 and so on.  I successfully deleted other users without problem.  I upgraded my system from Windows Vista to Windows 8 without incident and apart from this problem are very pleased with the upgrade.

    I used another account (Administrator) to delete but good old ' Joe just comes back!  Need help please, it's driving me crazy.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Rhonda,

    Thank you for the update.

    I recommend you let flow the Windows Defender in offline mode and check if it helps.

    What is Windows Defender in offline mode?

    Note: The data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  • Deleting an account Windows 8 will remove traces of spyware/adware etc?

    One of accounts windows 8 has been recently infected with adware/spyware, other accounts show no sign of adware so I guess that this account has been affected. I have installed a number of security such as Malwarebytes, spybot search and destroy programs, and adware seem to have disappeared.

    This account and the computer is newly configured, so it's not really a lot of backup and not big thing to lose, but delete/remove this particular account would eliminate all traces of virus/adware/spyware that came with the freeware from cnet doubtful? Or good is the computer to use the services banking etc now, since there is no obvious signs of adware that was once present at 100%?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Juuuce,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.

    As described in question, it seems that the problem that faced you account specific user but when you created a new user account and then everything seems to work very well.

    I quite agree with you that if new user created account works well then you can delete the old account, but make sure all the important files, data images and information you need from the old account has been moved to the new account or that she has been saved on an external device.

    If you are sure that you need no more files, data, images and information from the previous account, then you may delete the account.

    Note: If you delete the account, then all files, data, images and information stored on the user account will be lost and you will not be able to recover them.

    Hope that I was able to answer all of your concerns. If you have more concerns, please post back and we'll be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
