I want to delete a second account administrator (added by an outside vendor). How?

A representative of the company added troubleshooting one account administrator at my windows, without realizing that I was an administrator.  Now I have to choose between the two accounts each time I turn on the computer.  I tried control panel / users Accnts/add or remove user Accnts / but don't see a way to remove the 2nd administrator account.

I don't think it's a good idea. In this forum we deal on a daily basis with people who can not connect because they didn't have the foresight to create and test an alternative admin account. When something goes wrong, they are indeed locked - see here for an example.

Rather than delete this account, you should do this:

  1. Test it.
  2. The document of its details.
  3. Automate the process of logging so that you do not have to select an account or enter a password.

  • Unable to delete the second account administrator on Windows XP...

    Work on two laptops, two Dell Vostro 1000, both with Windows XP Professional, for a client who owns a restaurant. This customer wants to create two user accounts on each laptop, with administrative privileges (for restaurant management) and the other with privileges limited (for the staff in the restaurant). The customer wants also these laptops be stripped of any area with which they were associated. Change the administrator password on both to something new, I went in "System Properties" and made every laptop a member of a workgroup, rather than a field. After the reboot, I went to create a different account on each laptop, one with privileges limited to the restaurant staff. Windows would allow me, however, to create such an account, because he said that he first must be an existing account with administrator privileges. There was, however, such an account and the other on which I had control so the situation was confused. I went to create a second administrator account on two laptops, after what I have created a limited user account. Now, I have two administrator accounts and a limited account. I would like to remove one of the two administrator accounts, but Windows XP gives me no clear option to do so. What can we do?

    Have a single administrator account is also short-sighted as having a key to the House. In this forum we deal regularly with the requests from users who are no longer able to use their one and only the admin account. A minor accident causes them a lot of grief.

    You must keep the two admin accounts, give everyone a strong password, and then give the owner a detailed documentation on both of them. You should also put warning on the dangers of the use of an obsolete operating system and unsupported.

    Original title: My Windows 7 laptop is plugged in and not on a network. My lack of understanding of the work and networking groups made me make a mess in the implementation

    I implemented 'users' as I could and now I find that in large part is loaded on my computer and I didn't need to have to deal with two identities to myself.  Can I fix or would it not be better to reinstall Windows a user, a set of files on all and the guest account will be switched off.  In addition, even though my computer says that it is a working group, the only internet connection I have is the LAN.  Can someone put me directly.

    Thanks in advance

  • If I create a second account (different) Zotero on the same PC, how can I configure it's empty without destroying all the records in the other account?

    I have long had a Zotero account and it works fine. I recently merged in a group with a few other people into account; We share the same set of references. Now I want to set up a personal account for different purposes, perhaps becoming a different group. When I try to set up the new user name and password, the same reference shows always. How can I start with an empty account for the new user name without clear items from the old account?

    I know Zotero and just the second jscher2000 tips - if you want to actually different accounts, you must use separate profiles of FF.

    The integrated solution for Zotero is to use groups for sharing of resources between people

    And have your own resources in a different group or in 'my library '.

  • How can I delete account administrator under WIndows 7

    I installed Windows Vista to Windows 7 on an Acer laptop. I want to remove the user accounts administrator account but cannot. I follow the instructions but when I select the Administrators account there is no option to remove it. Note: There are 2 user accounts: one under my name and the other is administrator. Both were created originally in Vista and I had to use a command to create the administrator account - maybe it has something to do with not now be able to remove the control panel.

    Thanks for the help.

    That is right. CANNOT delete the built-in Administrator account.

    The standard security practice is to rename the built-in Administrator
    account, set a password that is strong on it and use it only to create another
    accounts for regular use, reserving the administrator as a back account «»
    the door' in case something corrupts your account regularly.

    Original title: Hi I have a windows 7

    You must be at least one account Admin on the PC.  It's just the way that Windows 7 works.

    The account that you used to make the new Admin account must also be an administrator full - account only administrators can make new accounts.

    Of running Windows 7, it is recommended to use a user account Standard for all daily activities.  In addition to that, make two password protected administrator accounts & write passwords.  Make a password reset disk for each account on the PC.

    On the removal of Maxewell girl - the account is deleted [this is possible by an Admin]

    1. go to the daughter of C:\Users\Maxewell's and copy all the files of this user that you want to continue

    2 using Control Panel, user accounts, manage another account.

    3 you can then remove the entire Panel Contorl system, advanced system, Advanced tab settings user profile, select user account profiles - settings button - then click on the button Delete

    4. go on girl C:\Users\Maxewell's and verify that the files are deleted

  • I closed an email account so want to delete the profile of Thunderbird, so it does not look for new emails, but I want to access old emails.

    Hello

    I want to delete an old email address which is now closed from Thunderbird, but I want to keep the emails and have access to them.

    I can see how to remove an email account, but where the email go and how can I access them.

    I guess a solution would be to move all the emails to a folder in another account - this is the simplest option / best

    You can move all the messages on the account to delete your 'Local folders' account or any other account you may have.
    Notice, in the event that you move them to another account which is be a one IMAP, these messages would be uploaded to the server.
