I want my own username back
Recently, I was trying to enter my password to sign into my account and came upon a different question. I clicked on it trying to find out more then found I opened a hornet's nest! What I had done ...
That's right. I don't know how I got the second one. I just want one profile only.
You can delete this account!
Just open the Control Panel and there in the account settings you will see 2 administrator accounts and the second user (you can delete this account), but you have to decide in the settings whether the user's data is to be left on the computer - remember about it
Good luck- Thank you so much, Andrzej1 for coming to my aid! I have been trying to gain success with this problem for weeks now. The problem is, I still need some advice. Following your instructions I went to account settings and saw my 2 accounts. One had my old (now not in use) email address and the other with the correct address but both were named Administrator! Can you please advise me how to delete the one with the old address and remove the administrator function from the other, if that is the normal thing to do. All I want is to have one ordinary email account so I can set up the new usernames and passwords. Sorry to bother you about this but due to your caution I don't want to cause any more problems.
- Strange is that there are 2 administrators!
surely you can use the control panel to change the account type and should be able to remove unnecessary administrator.
If you know the passwords for both accounts - it is possible.
If Windows will not be able to remove it, you will receive a notification, but remember that you can delete all settings, applications and files assigned to this account and this requires special attention!
