Windows 7 Deleted User Account Reappearing

0

After using Password Renew for NT's v1.1-BETA by sala (it comes with Hirens boot cd) and creating a new administrator user I'm unable to delete it. Actualy I delete it but it reappears after reboot. I see other people have the same problem here. Are there other methods of removing users? Maybe editing the SAM file?

How did you delete it? Also, don't edit the SAM file. – None – 2012-08-06T05:30:27.153

Launch regedit, and locate

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Passwdrenew"

Delete the whole entry, as well as the file mentioned "rnpassword.exe" in system32 folder.


This is what the author said in the comment section of the software:

Windows Password Renew installs password reseting service which executes net.exe and makes requested changes (changes a password, converts user to admin or makes new user). After this is done cleanup.bat will be made and executed which removes password reseting service and itself.

I suggest that the service is not correctly deleted.

Hunt down the service and you should be good to go :)
