I tried everything net user, lusrmgr.msc, regedit, user accounts etc but still after re booting my Administrator user "xyz" created by Hirens boot cd comes up in logon Screen. What should I do except reinstalling my whole windows again. Please Help me.

note: this "xyz" user is not built-in Administrator user. it is just a Administrator user created from Hiren's boot cd.

If Hiren`s boot cd created it, did you try using it to delete it ?

I tried

I tried it but didn't find any option for deleting any user or that user "xyz" created by Hiren's boot cd. I even change the user "xyz"'s password and name but after re-booting it changed to what it was i.e "xyz". The only option that is working is "disable the user" but that dose not mean deleting it. So, what should I do except re-installing windows 7.

There has to be a way to get rid of it, wait and see if someone posts a solution.

Don`t reinstall yet.

I tried it but did not work. I think it is something to do with the way of creation of that user. i.e how Hiern's Boot cd created that user. So if I delete that "default thing", maybe that works. I have tried "almost" every combination to delete that user. My brother who gave me that cd had a similar problem, and he simply re-installed the windows but I don't want to do that. Like AddRAM said there has to be a way to get rid of it.

Another thing, if I change my that user name and password, it changes immediately, even I logoff and go to that user it show different name and password but then the moment I re-boot my computer it all changes to what it was i.e. user "xyz". What it is? It is just like a Software I know back in Kindergarten days the "Deep Freeze". It resets everything.

Try deleting this "xyz" user using a WMI method.

Open an elevated command prompt and run the below line. This will delete the user account associated with the profile "C:\Users\xyz". The folder "C:\Users\xyz" will also be permanently removed, so be careful if you decide to edit the line.
Code:
wmic path Win32_UserProfile Where "LocalPath='C:\\Users\\xyz'" Delete

1.So prior to using Hirens you had two Admin and one guest?
before using Hiren's boot cd I had one Admin account ,one standard account and disable guest account. I use that cd to create an Admin account "xyz", and then using that Admin "xyz" account changed my one standard account to Admin account, after that I am using that changed account as well as (previously disable)built-in Admin account to delete that "xyz" user . note: I don't have access to first Admin account.
2. I want to have Admin privilege for my Standard account.(there is an Option in Hiren's boot cd to convert exiting user into admin user but I didn't notice it before creating "xyz" account)
3. Yes, I can log on to my Laptop.

I'm sorry but I not sure I understand and its probably just me. If you had an administrator account to begin with, why use Hirens? You can just use UAC in control panel. If you have more than one admin acct. can you log in to the one you want to keep and delete the other? Sorry for being confused.

Have you tried what Pyprohly suggested?

Hi qaaq, I think you have to do it using the Hirens Boot CD. Have a look at this Youtube video that deals with removing user passwords with the Hirens CD. Removing user accounts can probably be done that way as well, so have a look at it & see how you go.
