Unknown administrator

[Guest]

After installing XP sp2 I ran Microsoft BSA 1.2.1. This service warned me of
more than 2 administrators. One of the administrators had a user name of
S-1-5-21-566045...... Was this from the sp2 install? If not, what can I do
to remove this unknown user from my computer?

Read the following and make the changes in the registry
to unhide the account (if found), then delete the account.

The user name from MS BSA 1.2.1 ( S-1-5-21-566045....) was not found in the
registry. I am not sure how to proceed.

Same issue in win xp home account does not show up in registry or in control
panel user account- it is just a bug in MS BSA?
