Think that's magic bean or something like that.

I doubt it, you can either find someone who has a retail/oem copy of windows, your probably have to delete/modify the ei.cfg file and burn of a copy, or better yet, i'll send you an email now with some info, dunno if its allowed on the forum.

goto computer management in admin tools in control panel, click on users and computers and set the password for the administrator account to something else. You might be able to. Sometimes i have been able to set the password on the admin account. then log in with the admin account and add your other user account to the administrators group.

i'm set to admin but it still wont delete them
