Hi

No you can't and shouldn't try to delete the original Administrator Account.
You should get an error message if you try.

Hi,



You can have several accounts with the privileges you want.

On second read, you should leave the original administrator account
alone. It is used by the system and can be employed for
troubleshooting purposes if your other accounts become corrupted.

You can have as many accounts as you want, or as little.
If you want to boot directly to the desktop, you can download tweakUI
and configure it in the logon section.

The built-in Administrator account _cannot_ be deleted.
