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

i have remove the admin(me)of the login screen and now i cant to reverse it
 

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

i cant select other user,all user's in the pc are 2,the admin(un-visible),and the guest user(visible)
 

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

None, choose command prompt

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"
