I use Windows 8 with Windows 7-like GUI, classic shell
I have two administrative accounts: user
and Administrator
.
I am currently user
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\Manage Accounts\Change an Account
does not show "Delete" button:
I run cmd with administrative privileges and executed
net user Administrator /active:no
net user Administrator [/DELETE]
Both times I got "The command has completed successfully" message, but Administrator
is still visible under Manage Accounts
menu.
When I execute these commands again, I get the same message.
3The built-in administrator account is a special account. Removing it may lead to undesired behavior. Instead, tell us what makes you want to delete this account. – Daniel B – 2015-09-24T05:53:16.703
It was added by service center which repaired my laptop, because, they didn'y have password from mine. Everything seems to work fine after deletion. – user2136963 – 2015-09-24T08:23:22.870
1No, it wasn’t. It’s always there but usually invisible. – Daniel B – 2015-09-24T08:26:55.607
1@user2136963 - They didn't "add" the account. They just activated the account. Just deactivate the account, numerous tutorials that exist, on how to activate and deactivate this account. – Ramhound – 2015-09-24T11:15:28.780
