You want to delete the user or just remove one from the login screen?

Should be able to, just select other user and type the username in.

Then I'd boot into safe mode, select command prompt and delete that key

None, choose command prompt

An image from 'ERROR user/admin'. Windows Advanced Options screen highlighting the Command Prompt for troubleshooting.

Load the real system hive then delete the key

REG LOAD HKLM\TEMP C:\Windows\System32\Config\Software

then reg delete "HKLM\TEMP\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts"
