How to delete current owner/admin account and create a new owner/admin acct

Here's the deal..
I own a software titled "Kinemac". It's a 3D animation software which creates QT movies to import into Final Cut Pro. I've had the software since last April and about a month ago, all of a sudden, the program would no longer open. I contacted Kinemac's Support. They said my computer had apparently been "banned" by the software. (Maybe it saw the computer as trying to pirate the program.?????)
I tried downloading a new copy of the software, reinstalled, entered serial#, etc. and still would not open. There was no crash. It just would not open.

Kinemac said its only way to correct the problem was to enter into a screen share with iChat. I tried for 20 minutes with them to establish screen share with no luck. We could "chat" but not screen share. So, I came to the Apple Discussions pages on iChat and spent about an hour with a Discussions' User on iChat with NO luck there either. I gave up on iChat. Not certain I wanted someone unknown on a screen share anyway.

Which brings us to this point. Kinemac says I can also add a new Admin Acct. Delete the current Admin and then rename the new user with the old user's name. I frankly don't want to mess around doing that but apparently there's alternative for Kinemac. So that's why I'm seeking info on how to do it. I really like the software and want to rectify the situation.

Hope this explains the situation. Thanks.

Yes. I've tried to launch it a few weeks ago when I set up a new user with admin privs but it wouldn't launch. I think the key is to delete the orig. user (my current acct.) and establish the new user as main user.

I've noticed in the "Accts." section of sys. prefs. that when you enter a new user with admin privs, you can right-click on either admin acct and a menu comes up. My current acct. shows a number "501" while the newly-created acct shows "502". The Kinemac people alluded to changing that # for the new user to "501"...

That's the best I can tell you....Thanks

Hi Bryan,

The problem which required me to use the screen sharing has been resolved in another manner, however, I never resolved the issue with screen share. I'll take a pop at your suggestion to see what the status is.

When I was testing back in January, I did hardwire straight to the DSL modem to try and bypass any router issues. Having given up on ever making iChat share a screen, I reconnected my computer to the Apple Airport Extreme wireless router. I'm hardwired into the router. I only use the wireless feature of the router when I use my laptop.

Thanks,

Tony

For instance, what type of info would I need to keep from my current account?

Yes..I need to save all of that. Thanks

You read my mind! That's exactly what I thought I'd do instead of messing with the accounts on the computer.

Thanks for your input and advice...

Tony
