Default Delete users on Windows XP


Hi,
How can I see all the users on my system? I want to delete all accounts
(inc. administrator)
except mine for security reasons.
regards

XP Home or Pro? That makes a difference.

You can't delete the built-in administrator account. Just make sure it has a
good password that only you know.

I am using XP Pro.
I do not remember the admin password. Is there some way I can reset
that too? My current username has admin priviledges.

Reboot to Safe Mode with your current account.
Go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select Administrator.
From there you can change the password.
You can also select other users for deletion.
Do NOT attempt to delete Administrator.
