My first question would be are you talking about the built-in user account
"Administrator". Why would you want to lock him out of any place. If you
don't trust whomever manages your network, then you have bigger problems
than just not wanting him to have access. The built-in administrator
account is there and it has be configured to where you cannot lock him out.

Anyone, other than the built-in adminstrator account, you would remove them
from the Remote Web Workplace user group.

Thanks,
