At the login screen hit CTRL+ALT+DEL so it will show you the classic login screen, and login as Administrator. Now that you're logged in using the 'built-in' admin account you should then be able to go thru the control panel and remove the other account.
Good Luck.

pass on and create your new account. reproduction all your data which you particularly % from the different bills folders that stay in "C:records and SettingsOLD_ACCOUNT". reproduction in simple terms the data which you created and not the equipment data till you already know what you're doing. yet otherwise is after bobbing up and logging on your new account, deleting the old account will ask you in case you % to maintain the data of the old account. this could reproduction them on your guy or woman notebook. verify abode windows help to work out which data are saved. i think of those data are those interior the very own notebook and records folder of the old account. some classes deploy themselves in simple terms for the account that put in them, hence, the settings of those purposes would be misplaced, till you already know the place the utility shops its settings data and reproduction them to a similar course on your new account. For secure practices motives, its extra valuable to create your new account as a constrained Account and not Administrative account. If an endemic runs on an Administrative account, it could attack the account's data or maybe equipment data. even however, an endemic on a constrained account can in simple terms attack data on which the account have privileges.

The original administrator account is for troubleshooting and running your network. YOU DO NOT want to delete the other administrator account, if you do your computer will be logged into your main administrator account at all times making it easier for people to hack your computer and take complete control. This is not advised !!!
