[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1345433, member: 46727"] Migrating other "users" from a Windows machine can cause problems because of limiting permissions. The easiest way to get rid of them is log on as the root user and remove them. Follow these Apple instructions to enable the root user on your machine. [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528"]LINK[/URL] Make sure that you [B]only[/B] remove those user accounts and nothing else. When logged on as root user you can do serious damage to the system if you remove something you're not supposed to. Oh, and make a backup of everything before you start - just in case! :) [/QUOTE]
