You can't. It's a vital part of the system. You may need to use it to gain full access to Windows if a problem occurs with your own admin account, and it's also the only way in to the Repair Console should you ever need to use that.

As Pip said, you can't delete the Administrator's account. You can delete the "computer" admin account, but you can't delete the system's admin account.

You might well have to bite the bullet on this one.

As pip and ant said you can't delete the account... However you can try to reinstall the windows xp and during the setup there is a place where they want you to type the admin name... you can change it to whatever and that will become your admin... if you leave that blank than the xp by default creates an admin account that you cannot delete... I have done this before... Make SURE YOU BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING THIS... I do not take any responsibility for any damage to your computer...
