How To Delete Administrator Account In Windows 10
How to delete remove administrator and standard user account Windows 10
To delete a built-in administrator account, you must manually remove the account from the Active Directory Users and Computers console.
To get administrator permissions off, you can either do it yourself or ask someone who has the permission to do so. If you are the one with administrative permissions, then you can remove them by going into your computer settings and removing the administrative account. If not, then you will need to ask someone who has this permission.
The first step is to login to your laptop with the account you want to make the administrator. Once logged in, click on “Start” on the bottom left corner of your screen. Then select “Control Panel”. Next, go to “User Accounts”, then “Administrators”. If this account is not already an administrator, click on the button that says “Add.” Fill in the new username and password of the user you want to make an administrator.
The default administrator account in Windows 10 is the only account that cannot be deleted. To remove this account, you can log out of your other accounts and then delete the administrator account. After logging back in, you should see a notification to create a new administrator account.
The built in administrator account is a security risk and should be changed. When you change the built in administrator account, make sure to create a new user account with limited privileges and use this for day-to-day tasks.
If you have administrator access to the computer, you could log in as an administrator and delete the account. If you do not, then you will need to contact the system administrator or owner of the computer.
