| I ust found out that my ex created a new user ( set to
| administrator) n my pc, only she knows the password and
| has left for good, however when wanting add or delete my
| pc from her files , it tells me that only the
| administrator has access.
|
| is there a way that I can delete her user from XP without
| knowing her password???
| Even If i have to delete all user I am okay as long as i
| retain the indstalled programs..
|
| HELP!!
|
If you log in using the default Administrator account "Administrator" or if
your user account is or becomes a member of the Administrator group you can
delete another administrator account. Only an Administrator can remove
another administrator.
