Q: Problem when logging in (El Capitan)
First of all, sorry for my poor English, I'm not a native speaker and also not very tech-savvy.
Last month I bought a Macbook air from my mom. She had an admin account which I will name "X".
While using her account, I created a new admin account, then logged in on it and the deleted my mom's admin account.
The thing is, every time I reboot my Mac, the first log in page I see shows my Mom's account. Only after entering with her password I get to see my Login Account asking this time for my password.
What do I need to do to delete my mom's account once and for all?
MacBook Air
El Capitan version 10.11.5
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

I suggest you complete all the steps in the following article. They would make it just as if your mom sold you the Mac, and you took it over as if it were brand new software-wise.
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully your mom already did steps 1-5. If not, make sure those steps are complete.
Then step 6 will make this Mac your own.
