How do I stop my computer from booting to the built-in administrator?

How do I stop my computer from booting to the built-in administrator?

Set up a user account with Admin rights.

Thanks. I used the "control userpasswords2" command to straighten it out

I obviously didn't quite get the point of your post then - I assumed from
what you said that your machine was automatically starting up in The
Administrator Account. Is that not what was happening?

 

[Randy Molitor]

No. For some reason the computer would boot to the built-in Administrator
instead of the administrator that is set up in my name.

That's OK. I understand my discription wasn't very complete. Sorry

Odd. I've never seen that before.....

It happened when I unchecked "Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer" in "control userpasswords2" There are three entries in
"Users for this computer:". Administrator (Administrator), Guest(Guest) and
Randy Molitor(Administrator). It won't let me delete the "Administrator"
User Name because it is built-in I guess.

that's correct - The Administrator is there for when (not if!) your user
account fouls up!
