    There are two types of accounts: administrative and limited...

    If you are a limited account:

    There's no way.... you have to be administrator and if you plan to change type there's no way to change from an limited account to an administrative account without adminatrator's permission.. SORRY!

    In other words.... it's not possible

    If you too are a administrative account:

    Delete your dad's admistrative account by going on

    -control panel

    -user account

    -delete an account

    - you can take from here

    GOOD LUCK

    It matters, If your account is administrative you can go to start, control panel, user accounts, and click the account that you wanna delete and you delete it.

    If your account is limited, you cannot do anything about it.

    unless you make a new administrative account and delete it. Hope this helped.

    make up another admin account and then delete the one you forgot about with your new admin account

    You can't without the password, or you completley erase the harddrive and start over.
