I cannot remove a login item, though I'm the administrator.

The yellow triangle states "You cannot change this item because it's managed by your system administrator".

But I am the administrator.

How can I remove this "login item"? What is it? I suspect it tries to mount a network drive since it takes a while to log in and it complains "There was a problem connecting to the server..."

But I can't figure out when or where it tries to mount it.

Any ideas?

Boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and try to delete its from there. Then reboot normally.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
