Deleting an Adminstator Account

I (as computer administrator) created a new user and it forced me to choose
"administrator" status. Now I can't delete the account now that I no longer
need it...I can't even change it from administrator status. I don't want to
have 2 administrators and I want to be able to start the computer without
prompting for a password like I did before making the new user. How can I
delete the second administator account?

Help!

To delete An administator account you have to be logged in and delete it
while you are on it(delete option is on the side when account is seleted in
"user accounts"). You can't delete or change it while on another login

BTW: Never delete the "hidden" Administrator account. This account is very
important as to provide a emergency access to change any other accounts that
you may get "locked out"

This is not working. I have this problem because I never created an account
before and always used the Administrator account. My friend came over and I
created an administrator account for her. When I went to look for my
Administrator account I can see that the folder is there, but I cannot access
it. I don't even get an option to log on to it from the windows logon
screen. Please help as all of my work is on this account and I cannot access
it.
