Dear Ace:
Thank you for your response.
I may have been unclear: The "Preferred Customer" name is
already gone & my name is there under "Local Users". The problem
seems to be the pop up screen asking for a password (which I never
checked a box requiring one). When I use the RENAMED account name
(mine), I cannot get the "Preferred Customer" log in and settings. I
get another Administrator acct. probably because I cannot get past
the log in screen requiring a password. Here's the steps: Control
Panel>Users & Passwords>Advanced>Advanced User
Management>MyName/Administrator>General>Full Name. I cannot find
ANYWHERE how to change the name & get rid of the password
requirement, which did NOT exist before. I need a step-by-step, as
rudimentary as that may seem to you. I don't want to get locked out
completely if I compound my error.

As I said, if you an administrator, you can rename any local account to
whatever you desire.


I believe you were already here?

Rt-click My Computer, choose Manage. Drill down to Local Users and Groups/
Expand Users. Select the account you want to alter, rt-click Properties,
make your changes. You can also select the account you want to alter,
rt-click the account, choose Rename.

Is that what you mean?
