Deleting User Accounts

iamollie · Nov 15, 2008, 10:58 AM

Does anyone know how to delete an administrator account from another os on another partition (or using a live cd)?

I dont have access to the administrator account and i need to remove the other administrator account

UBCD has some password removal tools that work awesome for XP. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums...pic.php?t=1550. This is the beta version 5 but it works awesome. If you do not have a torrent client check out www.utorrent.com so you can download UBCD and then burn the iso to disk. Once burnt just boot from it and their you have all the magical tools.

aaa see i cant remove the password from the admin account, that mustnt be touched, i was thinking more along the lines of doing it through the registry and explorer

If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

i have no access to that administrator account
Sorry guys ill clarify a bit
I have an operating system with three accounts on it, 2 administrators and 1 limited
I need to delete one of the administrators but i have no access to the other
I can plug the hard drive into other computers to access it from there
thanks

Then I recommend picking up the UBCD and running the NT password removal tool.

more info : when logon screen appear ,user name:administrator (depend os language ) without password --- now you are a super administrator
