    Changeing primary account without deleting any other account


    My Mom still needs her account, although she does not use it often. Is there a way to change my account to be the primary account without deleting hers?

    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.
