• Removal of administrative account

  I have Lenovo Ideapad Z570 with Windows 7 Home Premium and I want to delete the administrator account. My password work when I open Windows, but when I try to remove the administrative account in Control Panel, all the time, I get a message that my password is incorrect. What is the solution? Petar DJ

  You must be at least one account of administrator on the PC level.  Having two accounts is your best protection against the risk of corruption of the user profiles.

  Consider that you normally use on a Standard user account and you have verified that this account is a Standard user account - see Control Panel, user accounts.  That's fine, but you need to have administrator accounts as well.

  If you have lost the password of the admin account then check out a guide to recovery of lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem

  Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.
