Is there a way to delete the administrator profile without the password on Windows 10?

Hello Kolby,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



An administrator account is a user account that lets you make changes that will affect other users. Administrators can change security settings, install software and hardware, and access all files on the computer. Administrators can also make changes
to other user accounts.



You will be able to delete another user account only if you are the administrator with complete user rights on the PC. If you are using a local or administrator with limited user rights account, you will not be able to delete the account unless you
know the administrator password of the actual administrative user profile.



Since you do not know the password of the Administrator user profile, you will not be able to make any major system changes on the PC.



Step 1: If you get to know the administrator password, I suggest you to convert the user profile to administrator profile
by following the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
  Control panel and click on the top most search result.
  
• 
  Select User Accounts or Change account type
  from the window and click on your user account name.
  
  
• 
  Select Administrator and click on
  Change account type.
  
• 
  Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
  

Step 2: Follow the steps below to delete the user profile:

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Command prompt (Admin) from the context menu.
• Enter the administrator password when prompted and click OK
• Enter net user and press Enter. You will now see all user account in the system.
• Then type net user accname /del and press Enter. For example: If you want to delete the user account named
  computer, then the command line net user computer /del.
• Reboot the PC and check if the changes are effective

deleting administrator account w/o having password

When it asks non-admin accounts for an admin password to authorise something, it routinely suggests the last admin account used. If you click on More choices, you will see a list of admin accounts and you can just select the one you now have access to. The next time the dialog appears it will suggest that as the admin account to use to give permission to proceed.



Once you have done this and seen it all working, you can either delete her old account [after having checked her user folders to make sure there is nothing there you need] or, assuming it is a local account not an MSAccount, just reset her password then put on a new one** so that the account is available as a spare admin.

** Which you should write down.
