The built-in Administrator account CANNOT be deleted.

If this administrator account is one you made yourself you can delete it. 1) Open the control panel and select the user account option. 2) Select the account you wish to delete then choose the "Delete Account". 3) Then if you wish choose the "Delete all files" option.

assuming that you are working from a computer with windows as the operating system: click on start, then on control panel then on user accounts from there you can change the user accounts click on change an account then choose the account you would like to change then change my account type then you have the choice of either computer administrator or a limited account if another user is already registered as computer administrator, this could be tricky. this would then require asking them to shed their responsibilities onto you. to do this they just need to follow the same procedure as above. NOTE: only the computer administrator can change the account types!

How do you reveal a Windows password?

Windows does not store passwords in plaintext. They are stored in an encrypted / hashed format. This means that once you have entered the password, you cannot display the actual text. The only way to determine what the password was is if the password was insecure and you matched it a known hash for a given password. Suggest you now do as following: 1. Try No Password Administrator Login Backdoor- In Windows XP there is built in administrator user account that has administrator credentials, enabled by default and without any password to protect the account from been access. If you didn't change the administrator's password, then try to sign in to Windows XP without password. 2. Reset password from another user account with administrator credentials. If you are unable to find your lost password from the above listed methods then you might want to buy password recovery software.
