Re: Unknown user acccount

The Hidden Administrator account would just be called Administrator, unless it was renamed.If you have a second administrator account you want to remove that is not the hidden administrator other then your admin account, login as your admin user account jerry, and to go Start/Search type lusrmgr.msc and press enter click the Users folder, right click the account jdh that you want to remove and choose Delete. Do NOT delete the (hidden) Built in Administrator account

Re: Unknown user acccount

Hi Sarge,

Got your PM, sorry for the late reply, been super busy at work.

Can you please provide us a snip of the User Accounts in your Control Panel?
Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts

Also a snip capture of Local Users and Groups from Computer Management by following this Tutorial.

Go to Start/Search and type netplwiz, right click the netplwiz results and Run As Administrator. Make sure the check box for Users Must Enter a User Name and Password to use this computer is checked. Highlight the user name you want to remove and press Remove.

Re: Unknown user acccount

Hi, I am having trouble finding the account you referenced so cmd as admin (as shown) copy paste all in red:-

wmic useraccount get name,sid > 0 & notepad 0

Press enter, please copy paste the notepad outcome here.

We can then run another cmd to delete the account.
