How can I remove administrator account?

On my wife's pc, XP Pro installation not finish us until we entered a user name (USERNAME). So now we have two administrative USERNAME and ADMINISTRATOR accounts, which means that whenever we have start or come out of their hibernation we must select the account to use.

On my pc, there is only a MYNAME account (with administrator privileges), so I can start or come out of hibernation without going through the pesky logon screen.

Any suggestions?

You can't remove the administrator account, but you can hide it from the home screen which is probably what you have on the other computer. to hide the administrator account:

1. click on start > run and type regedit and click OK.

2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

3. check if there is a value on the right-hand side named Administrator, if there is skip step 4 if he doesn't do not continue

4 right-click right part empty on the right side and click on new > DWORD value and name it administrator

5. double-click the administrator value and set it to 0 if it is not already

6. close the registry editor

After completing these steps you should not see administrator to the homescreen (except in safe mode).

  • How can I remove guest account configured for the administrator?

    I tried to add a second user account on my computer and I blew it. My main user account is now defined as a standard account and no matter how many times I click the button to set it as an administrator account that he will not save these settings. The guest account (which I want to delete) is defined as an administrator account and it wont let me save it as a standard account, because there is no other administrator accounts. Even when I try to create a new account just to see what he would do he tells me that he cannot accept some of the characters that I use for the name of the account, even if it's just 5 letters, so I can't even create the new account.

    I have no idea what's going on with my user settings, but I want to just that everything back to how it was before... with a single main account configured for the administrator.

    Can someone help me?

    I bet that your administrator account is an admin account and your guest account is a regular account. Buttons that you look at don't tell you the State of the special consideration, but the change that you can apply. In other words, looking at the administrator account, the 'Administrator' button is highlighted not because it's already an admin account!

    Now you should do this, in the following order:
    1. Create a CD to repair Windows via Control Panel / backup and restore. People like you who make their own PC maintenance need.
    2. Test the CD.
    3. Create, test, and document an admin account to spare, even you have a spare House key.
    4. Disable the guest account.

  • How can I remove an account from a computer profile without deleting data?

    Hello! I want to delete mozilla of a computer and delete my account profile so that all my data on this computer is removed. But I use the same profile in mozilla on a different computer and I do not know if my profile will retain the data stored on this computer after it is deleted in the other. Can you please clarify this issue for me. Thank you!

    Best,
    Vanya

    If you want to remove your personal data on a reliable computer, then you will need to perform a secure erase to erase the data on the hard drive.
    Otherwise Windows will mark only data as being deleted.

    It is best to disconnect from Sync before you delete data on a computer to prevent other computers from getting affected.

    You can use the Profile Manager to delete a profile.

  • How can I remove another account icloud without the help of the person?

    Hello, I need to delete an account from an ipad icloud. I had my nephew stay and he added his account for ipad from my mom, who she would now like to use. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to help me remove. There is no nice way to explain the situation, but basically, he stole a lot of things and ended up in prison. I have a number of crime when it was stolen, but the ipad was never because he did not leave the property. Of course, the ipad is not sound, is anyway apple will be able to help me? Thank you very much

    If you were the original purchaser of the iPad (i.e. he not was purchased used) then you could try to go to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment if you do) or try to contact iTunes Support Online (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/) and see if they can remove the iPad on the account - they are likely to want to see proof of ownership before they could for example help original receipt with the serial number top

  • How can I remove an account from synergy, Palm across the profile

    I have reported this Palm support, but I hope that someone else has seen cela and knows the answer (Hardbeatz, this should be easy for you).

    I let someone else connect to their facebook account on my pre +. He immediately put all his contacts in my contact list. Not what I wanted. So I deleted this account in the Facebook application, in the address book application and everywhere else, I could find a reference to it.  However, when I "sync" my Palm profile, this e-mail address continues to appear and returns the error that he uses an invalid password (Fortunately he didn't remember". So, whenever I have sych my profile, I get this error.

    Coincidentally, I got a replacement pre + a few days later. So I activated the phone and it continues to show that email address when I go through the process of"premiere". I ran doctor OS, twice. I did the reset/full erase, twice.

    Every time I have "sync" my contacts with my Palm profile, I get this "incorrect password" for the other person's facebook account. Really? Where that little info?

    It isn't on my profile page palm, not in my facebook client, not in my address book...

    I spent a few hours talking with a person well-informed VERY to Palm support. He opened a ticket because he couldn't solve it.

    OK, I have the solution and I must say that I am surprised at the answer (and not in a good way).

    It turns out that synergy will be integrated into the accounts without asking. He sees no difference with an additional e-mail address and someone using their email address to check facebook from my phone.

    Palm note: It is a horrible and dangerous and quite unexpected. It is essential that synergy wonder if I want to do this before you take this step. I had more than 500 new contacts of a person with my phone for 30 seconds. And I got constant actions of backup or automatic and manual synchronization error messages. Nice to wake up to the error messages. This behavior is a bug. Behavior wrong and undocumented. Until fix you this, there should be a label on every new phone that says: 'be careful, never lend this phone to anyone, unless they promise to do nothing more than to make telephone calls'.

    Solution: It is in fact just as crazy as the problem, in my humble OPINION. When someone connects to the facebook app, synergy adds this e-mail account to 4 applications! A reasonable person would assume that a remove the e-mail account of the FaceBook application that would solve. In fact, it was smart enough to delete contacts 500 +, he shot on the unwanted FaceBook account. But imagine that it would also add this account to 3 other applications? Although it adds account 4 apps, it wasn't smart enough to REMOVE IT from these applications.

    Go to more than 3 applications. Photos, address book and calendar. Once you have deleted the email address of these 4 (Yes 4) apps, the problem is resolved. WUH? I had already done. Then I went to a replacement phone, and apparently not all of those changes when this is stated in my Palm profile before I activated the new material. So he put those references into every time I reset or "doctored" the phone. When I re-trace my steps, I found that the e-mail account was back in the calendar, even though I had removed it several times.

    Palm support had me once again, remove it, then run a manual backup. That seemed to make the deletion permanent.

    In the application (at the top left of the screen) menu, choose 'Preferences and accounts' to remove the rogue e-mail account. Delete this email account in FaceBook, Photos, address book and calendar.

    I don't have the courage to let someone try it with other guests of the social network, MySpace, or Twitter, but I hope that they behave in the same way.

    Moreover, Palm support this increased rapidly and has been VERY helpful to understand this. It took them a while to understand it, but they kept the call and try things until they got it. I'm surprised, it was not documented somewhere, but I'm really impressed by how much they knew. They did a great job! Kudos to Palm support!

    I hope this helps others, and I hope fixes Palm synergy runaway nature and provides a more granular control on what she accompanied...

    Hi desmondlau,

    ·         Did you completely remove the account?

    ·         Do you have any other user account on the computer?

    ·         If so, is that a Director or a limited account?

    Try the following.

    Step 1: Try to start in safe mode. Check if you can login as administrator.

    Step 2: If you are able to connect, and then create a new administrator account and other changes. Restart the computer in normal mode to see if you can connect.

  • How can I remove the old mail account passwords?

    My work e-mail account requires that I change the password every 90 days. I had to do this last Friday. I also changed the password of e-mail. Now I keep getting locked on the account due to the fact that Mail continues to try to connect with the old password instead of a new. Where the previous passwords are stored, and how can I remove them?

    Passwords are saved in the Keychain application located in your Utilities folder. You can search for passwords here. Normally when you change the password of an account, it needs to update this info in the keychain also unless you change other information like the name of the server.

    Quit Mail, find the passwords for the incoming server and outgoing for the account. Remove them in Keychain Access. Open Mail and provide the password when asked.
