If it is not an account you created, ignore the rest of this post...but post
back if it isn't an account you created.

If it is, and you want it gone, try this.

Go to start>run and type this in the box

control userpasswords2


When that opens, highlight and delete the account you don't want, reboot and
see if it worked.

Again, if it isn't an account you created, post back.
