Log in using your grandmother's account - assuming it has administrative
privileges - or with the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home,
boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8
key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right
menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here.
Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator
account. The default password is a blank.

In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen,
do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in
"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up
Windows.

Once logged in, go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and
delete your user account.
