Hello,

I seem to have an odd problem. I bought my old work laptop for my wife to use. Now, I need to delete my old information and account. I thought this would be simple thing to do. I have set her up on a new domain (nebula, the computer's name) as an administrator. However, when I went to delete my old account (in the domain "bc"), it wasn't listed. So, I logged in to the bc domain as myself and deleted the account. That might have been the mistake. But I can still login to the machine using my old account name. I have shut the computer down and restarted (full shut down), but can still log in. Also, I no longer have administrator privileges.

From my wife's account, my account cannot be seen. We really need to delete this account. Changing the password would be fine, but the computer says it cannot find the old domain.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
