  1. admin no longer works for company, need to delete account.


    The administrator no longer works for the company but he is the admin on my account. I need to permanently delete the account, along with several other employees. The admin has changed my password so I can no longer log in.

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

    admin no longer works for company, need to delete account.

    Go Back Windows 7 - error - must delete admin account

    HI

    Again I appreciate your effort to assist - but sadly again this does not solve my situation

    I have time left on my 30 days - the return to windows 7 option is working but stops at the point of getting ready telling me I have to delete the Admin account (I apparently created this as a part of the upgrade process)

    None of the instructions given allow me to - I have deleted the account in the family & other users section

    There is no option to delete the admin account (that I can see)

    I was given these as alternative suggestions - but they don't work either

    Method 2

    Please go to the registry editor and do the following steps:

    • Click +, to open run command. Type "regedit" and click enter.
    • Create a back of the registry. Click on Hkey and go to the File Tab, press Export and save it to your desired your location.
    • Go to the provided path HKey_LocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
    • In the profile list you will find a few SID's please find the one related to the deleted user account and delete it.
    To know which sid is related to the User Account you wish to delete just go to a particular S-1-5series and on the right side look for ProfileImagePath, you will notice c:/users/User_Account_Name.

    - when I highlight the account the delete button is greyed out

    Method 3:

    If you have enabled Built in admin account, please follow the steps below to disable Built in admin.



    • Press Windows + X key.
    • From the jump menu select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter.
