Deleting a User's Account (greyed out/logged in)

Hi, I have a standard user account logged in, but I want to delete that users account. I do not have/know the password for the account, so I cannot log the account out.


Help! Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Do you have a usable administrator account? If so, log into it, open System Preferences, navigate to Users & Groups, and click the lock in the bottom left corner and enter the Username and Password when prompted. Then, click the account you want to delete, and click the little minus icon near the lock icon. I hope this helps.


Sincerely,

Enzdude
