Hi there.
I'm getting my computer fixed this week and I've been delteing everything (pictures/word docs/accounts).
The only thing I have left to delete is my admin account (the one where, when I click on the icon in the bottom left corner, it shows my picture and gives me the options of sign out or account settings).
However, when I click on account settings, I don't see any way to delete or sign out of the account completely (to where, if my laptop is shut down and then turned on, it won't require any login or show my email).
I've gone to the 'My Info" section, but can't find a way there. Nor can I find it in any other setting.
I really need to get this done asap. If anyone could help, that'd be great. Thanks in advance!

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
That's NOT a good idea -- as without that account, you will not be able to sign into your PC when you get it back.
There is a "hidden" Administrator account, but you can't get to that without first logging into your account, and you really don't want to "unhide" that.
