I notice on analysis of this computer's security that it has more than two
administrators. There are three, one just called Administrator. Since only
two of us ever use the computer does anyone know who the third might be? How
can he be got rid of? Regards, DB
Every computer running Windows XP has a built-in account named Administrator.
This account should only be used for emergencies. It's there in case your
current user accounts become corrupted. You can't delete this account. While you
can disable it, I would advise against it.
On a computer running XP Home Edition, you need to boot into Safe mode in order
to logon with the Administrator account. In XP Pro, you can hit Ctrl + Alt +
Delete twice while the Welcome screen is displayed to bring up the Logon to
Window dialog. You should now be able to enter Administrator in the User Name
box. By default, the Administrator account has a blank password unless one was
setup during the installation of Windows XP.
Good luck
