Hi jesse reid.

·          You receive a message that you are trying to change the type of account?

·          Why do you want to change the account type to delete the account?

First make sure that you are not connected to the same account that you want to delete.

Disconnect from the user account that you want to remove, and then try to delete it without change the account type.

  • have 2 admin accounts and it is impossible to get the option to remove one of them

    I created for the administrator accounts and cannot get the option to remove one of them. I want to delete that won't give me the option to delete all it will let me do is change the password, it says it will allow me to change the picture, but when I try blank on the login screen is displayed. I can't change it even for standard user if I am logged in under the account of other admin. what I want to do is get rid of all my accounts and re-created them correctly like the one that I can't delete will sometimes pop up for password when I want to install something when I am connected with the other account.

    Is it possible to reset all our and start from scratch? I think it happened when I made some changed account policy local when I couldn't get a regular with my admin account setup program and now I don't know how to cancel it.

    I do not have to reinstall windows just to get this problem resolved... There must be an easier way.

    Thanks in advance

    For the guest account - I have a little poorly stated.  You * can * remove, but it is not recommended to perform this (possible to unintended consequences.)  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-desktop/deleting-guest-account/5a116d33-0056-47CA-B51A-b6615b90e160

    Administrator account - as far as I know you just cannot delete the built-in one.  Whichever one you can NOT remove - who is integrated. * smile *.

    Rename you accounts?  If not - it is one called "administrator."  Alternatively, you can use a registry setting to understand - but really the name should give it (if you have not renamed - and even if he did you rename... You renamed, you must know what you renamed to) the description of the account should be, "the computer or to the domain administrative account '...

    At the end of the day - you must remove only the accounts you know * you * created.  Ignore the rest.  Windows is/has been / will probably always be a multi-user even system when it is used by a single user.  He has accounts that are doing things in the background at almost any time.  Better than to let them be - unless you like instability.

    Whenever you install something (attempt to) as a normal user, it should appear and ask you an administrative level account - but you can select 'other' and put in ANY account of administrative level on this machine, you know the credentials. ;-)

    Unless you are the representative of COMPUTING of large company with a priority support contract, it is unlikely that Microsoft will never launch a phone with you.  However, if you open a ticket with Microsoft through a channel of authorized support and the ticket has not yet been solved, then it is possible that Microsoft may call return you for a follow-up.  At the present time, however, I believe that phone Windows XP support is pay only so it is even more unlikely that Microsoft will call anyone at home.

    In general, never disclose information to anyone who has launched a phone with you call.  If you feel that you MUST following up on this issue, to end the conversion andcall the company or the company by means of a telephone number, you know to be good as a phone number from a recent project of Act or the documentation that came with your product. Never use phone numbers to contact information or which is given you by a person who has appealed to phone with you.

  • You have installed Malware & Spyware on my computer - I WANT IT OFF!

    Your update disabled all of my web browsers... I have this problem as soon as possible.

    Adobe is not at fault here:

    If you go to the page you linked to and WATCH VERY CAREFULLY address where these downloads came (www.123mplayer.com), you will see that the infested downloads toolbar you have installed CAME NOT FROM ADOBE. You probably can't find them in this EXACT address, but one of the sites a lot, a lot, of many other "fake put up-to-date" there.

    You have that? 123mplayer.com (or anywhere where you got this update false) is where all your repressed anger needs to be done, because ILS gave you what you downloaded and you don't get it here. 123mplayer.com IS NOT a site of Adobe or even affiliated with Adobe. They you deceived download their junk, and you fell for it.
    I want to apologize for that, but it wasn't my fault, and it wasn't for lack of Adobe.
    Because of Adobe Flash Player, but they do not run Internet and they cannot and is not 100% total control on who does what with their Flash Player. They make agressivley continue illegal distributions, but there isn't ANY WAY could never possibly control of any business of more than 16 billion Web sites.

    It is a hard fix for you, I don't know, but I hope that you have learned the lesson that is: only download updates from ANYWHERE but the developer of. This applies to ANY software, whether Flash Player, Windows or other.

  • How to remove an additional admin account and keep the one I want

    Recently bought a new iMac, I used the wizard to merge. She added a new my old mac admin account. Now I have two admin accounts.

    I want to use the old Mac that has been transferred through and get rid of the other.

    I'm going to SysPrefs/users / groups, unlock, but the-(minus) is grey and the other admin is grey too.

    What to do what to do.

    You can't delete an account once logged in it. You must log on to the account that you want to keep. Then go to users and groups, open the pane, select the account to be deleted and click the sign less.

  • CHANGE THE MAIN ADMIN ACCOUNT: WINDOWS 7

    Hi all

    I want to change the main admin account on Windows 7, so I can remove the second account admin on my machine.

    I put my machine using my admin account but had a problem with and an Adobe program. Adobe technology has created a second admin account, account now appears to be set as primary and I can not change the options for the account, much less delete it but I would like to make.

    Can someone tell me if there is a solution to this?

    See below:

    1. This is my main account, and he's always been. I click on 'manage another account '.

    2. He takes me to the screen. I click on "Administrator". Administrator. "

    3. no options to change the account are available. This is the account that Adobe technology created AFTER the story of 'Kevin Byers' had been used as my main admin account.

    The strange thing is that these options ARE available on my main account. The FIRST account created on this machine.

    PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE ACCOUNT I USED TO LOG IN.

    So I guess the question is: why was the SECOND admin account changed to primary school, why can't change this back, and why I can delete the account I'm logged in from this account?

    I've been racking my brain and no one I know can help. Searches provide nothing, so if you have anything it would be appreciated.

    Hi all

    Your problem is mainly due to some confusion.

    There is no 'primary' admin account in Windows 7. There are '' integrated '' account called "Administrator". It's still there. You can't create, edit or delete. Adobe technology has not created the it. He simply allowed her.

    You can disable the built-in Administrator account by using the sequence of steps shown below. Before you do, you should create, test, and document an alternative admin account. Why? It's for the same reason that you have a spare key to your House. A lot of people have in diabolical trouble in case something goes wrong with their one and only the account Admin happens all the time. With spare admin account, you are safe.

    1. Log in under your own admin account.
    2. Click the start planet.
    3. Type these letters: cmd.exe
    4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
    5. Accept the challenge.
    6. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
      NET user administrator / active: No.
  • Admin account locked out

    Something strange is happening with my Windows 7. We had two accounts of users out there: mine (which was also the Admin account) and my wife. None of these accounts had a password. (Perhaps not a good idea, but no one else uses your computer.)

    Last night, my wife was not appear on the display of connection opening, but there was an empty profile called "user". When I connected who and entered in the user account of my wife, he let connect us.

    I went to users to see if I could see what was going on and I don't know how it happened, but the next thing I knew, without entering anything at all, he said that there is a password on my Admin account.

    Then I logged back on job connect screen, now my wife account appears and there is only the 'User' profile Virgin appeared to me. If I log in it and enter my username, it asks for a password - password that I never created and therefore do not know. So now I'm stuck on the Admin account to my computer.

    Is there something I can do?

    There are two things you can do:

    • Restart your machine in Repair Mode, with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows to a point before your problems began.
    • Plan ahead. Have a single administrator account involves some obvious risks. You must have two accounts admin fully tested, with their details recorded on paper.

    Post again if you want more details.
