Default How to delete new computer administrative account


I created a new account that I couldn't setup as
limited. I originally had used and customized the
adminiastrative user account. Now it does not show at
welcome screen and I can find the way to delete the new
account and go back to using the Adminstrator account
again in normal mode

Any help appreciated
Jerry

Default Re: How to delete new computer administrative account

For XP Pro: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen, with no users logged on. You'll get the old Win2K style logon. Enter Administrator and any password for that account.

For XP Home: You must boot the computer to Safe Mode. The built in Administrator account will appear on the Welcome Screen.
