Background
I was looking to change or delete a password from one of my 3 accts, when I then saw that I have 4 accts. They are 1, 1a, Administrator, and ASP.net Machine Acct. 1 was my original acct that had a problem with permissions. 1a was set up via a computer guru type over the internet in order to correct the problem with 1. I was to transfer stuff from 1 to 1a, but never did because 1 started to function as it should. The third acct is Administrator, also set up by the guru. I'm not sure about the fourth acct, but think that it was set up by the guru in order to run my computer via the net???
Accts 1, 1a and Administrator were all visible whenever I go to change accts, never saw the Machine acct before. But it became visible when I went into Manage your Network Passwords. Furthermore, the first three accts have "Administrator" under their names, Machine acct has Standard, and all have Password Protected under "Administrator." However, when I go to switch accts, I only need to enter the pw for the 1 and Administrator accts (I did give these accts their own pw's), but not acct 1a, and I know nothing about the Machine acct.
Questions
1. Am I correct about the Machine acct. If I am, then I should delete it, right? How (never deleted an acct before)?
2. How come Machine acct didn't show up when I go to switch accts?
3. Are accts 1, 1a and Administrator all full administrator accts?
4. How do you see I should manage all these accts?
Thanks.
