Hi,



We suggest that you log in to your admin account then delete the other user profile. To delete a user account on Windows 10, kindly follow these steps:

• Click Start > Settings > Account > Family & other users
• Click the account that you want to delete
• Click Remove. You’ll be prompted to confirm.
• Click Delete account and data.

Once the other account is deleted, you can try again running the netplwiz.
Just ensure that you uncheck the one labeled as “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.”
