  1. How to get around an Admin account, or delete it?


    So, I have a PC that has my account as a local user, and then another account, that’s a Microsoft account, as a admin. I have no access to the Microsoft account. What can I do to get rid of it? My account has no admin rights.

    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    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.
