yes, i try it from user accounts in control panel after rebooting in the
safe mode.
it just gives me the ability of adding a password to qwerty ...etc, but
cannot delete it as the link to delete it is not existing. it does not even
let me change it to limited user and tells me that there should be at least
one account with admin privilleges.
