a person in the office created a user and a password on his computer. I need to take this off. everytime I turn on the computer it asks for this guys password. does anybody know how i can remove this user Thanks for the help brett
It sounds like you could not get to the "Control Panels" because you have to enter a password when Win first starts. Is this correct?
Please post back.

Yep, I followed the link above, when it restarted, this guys log on came up again. when i go into passwords in the control panel, it just asks if I want the same settings if multiple users are using the computer

In response to Response 6 it sounds like you need to see the HowTos mentioned in Response 2. I was not real clear about the details of your problem. I'm glad things worked out.
Take care!
