  1. How to change the manager account?


    I dont know if this is right place to ask but when we first bought the laptop we used my mom's email account to log in. Now the laptop will be mine and I want to erase my mom's email completely and make my email account the manager account. I dont want two accounts to be connected in some way.

    So how can I remover her account completely and make the manager account mine? Should I do factory reset?
