sam,
you can't delete the administrator account,but you can change the name for it as long as you know the password for the account if it has one.

i believe you can delete the admin account as log as the new account you created for yourself is a admin acct

ID10Teror,
No,you can't delete the administrator account unless there are 2 administrator accounts set up on the computer which I think in angie30's
case there is only one administrator account on her computer.If the account has a password and she doesn't know it,then she can't delete the account.So we're both right!!

You can delete admin by going into setup but I forgot how it works. I'll look through my files but it would be quicker if someone knows what I'm talking about. I do remember it was easy.
