If you’ve accidentally locked yourself out of your Microsoft account, a built-in administrator account can help. But only if you’ve already made sure that it was enabled beforehand. Otherwise, you’re out of luck. The primary purpose of the built-in administrator account is for OEM system builders who make tweaks to the system.

3. User Accounts

Windows 10 has two kinds of user accounts: Administrator and Standard. With a Standard account, you can go about most daily tasks, like surfing the Web, running programs, checking email, etc. But if you want to make significant changes to the system, like adding new software or adding and removing other user accounts, you have to be the Administrator.

In workspace environments, there are a lot of Standard user accounts. When it comes to your personal computer, it’s most likely that you’re the Administrator. If you want to find which type of user account you’re using, this is what you should do:

1. Go to the Start menu and click on the Account logo, it’ll be your username,
2. Select Change account settings,
3. You’ll see a window pop-up and your name there. Underneath, you’ll see if it says Administrator or Standard.

4. How to Delete User Accounts

If you have too many user accounts in your Windows 10 that are either not being used anymore or want to restrict someone’s access to your computer, you can remove them. Just keep in mind a few things:

1. You must be signed in as the administrator to do this,
2. You can’t delete the user account you’re currently signed in to,
3. Make sure to always have one Administrator account enabled to avoid not being able to perform actions that require an administrator.

5. Here’s how you remove a user account in Windows 10

1. Go to the Start menu, then select Settings,
2. Next, select Accounts from the options,
3. Then, select Family & Other Users,
4. Select the user account you want to remove under Other users and then select Remove,
5. Accept the UAC (User Account Control) prompt.
   
   

6. Another way you can do this is to delete a User account in the Command Prompt. Follow these steps

1. Open a Command Prompt as described above,
2. Type in net user and then hit Enter to see a list of all the users,
3. Type in net user [User account] /delete and then hit Enter again. Replace [User account] with the name of the account you want to delete.
