Administrator change

I've inherited a Sony Vaio from my grandson. The system restore disk has
been used but I am unable to remove all references to him despite extensive
registry editing. For example, pressing ctrl/alt/del twice at the welcome
screen still brings up his name as does user profiles in system properties.
Sony 'help' simply suggested doing another system restore.

Can anyone suggest anything else I can do please?
