Windows 10: how to remove the admin account i created while setting up my windows machine

when i got my new laptop the guy told me to create a new microsoft account for this laptop so that i could get the 1month trial for microsoft 365. The problem is i dont remeber the password for that account and since i created that account that day only I cannot recover as there is no data on that account. so i want to remove that account and add a new microsoft account that i have access to as an administrator

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:

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

Removing Default email address from Email & Apps accounts

Hello Manjunath H,

thank your for the reply.

1. The machine was created by a "Local Admin Account" ( MACHINE-Name\local_Admin ).
2. Way later the Windows-Live-ID was added.
3. The Windows-Live-ID cannot be used to logon to the machine ( Error Message comes up ).

• In resume you suggest me to do what has be done in creating the machine?
• I am everytime using the "Local-Admin-Account" to Log-On to the machine.
• I am asking for a way to remove "unneeded Information" from the machine.
• A "Windows-Live-Id" is unneeded cause I am not using it and I do not like to have it longer on this machine

My View of the situation is ...

- Machine was working stand-alone for months ( wihout to be bound to a Windows-Live-ID )

- In adding the first "Windows-Live-Id" something went wrong cause it cannot be removed

- MS is not able to give "Steps to correct" or "Re-Adjust" the machine to a "default" state

- Removing of a "Windows-Live-ID" is not working if there is something wrong happened
