I was just hired at a company and given a computer to use.
But it has sign in name from the previous user. I can I
delete those names and start fresh. Any help would be
appreciated. Tom

You need to visit the person who issued you the computer
and request that the previous Users Account be deleted and
a new one created for you. This task requires the Administrator
to perform the change.
