You'll need to logon to the administrator account then.
Press Start > Log off > log off

Now in the user menu, you might only see your account and the other, but not administrator.
Hit alt+ctrl+del twice to access an advanced logon option.
In the username part, type in "administrator" without the quote and try to logon.
If it won't let you because of a password, try admin or administrator.

If you can get on, go to Start > Control Panel > User account.
Choose Seth if it's there and see if there's an option to delete it.

This machine was hector's brothers machine. The provided passwords from him to access the accounts for admin, and seth did not work, So I don't think there's anything we can do there. Do we have other options? Can I use a utility to just move/delete the Seth folder?

The control userpasswords2 does have an option to change the administrator password, go back into the control userpasswords2, highlight administrator and underneath the user accounts list should be a change password option.

Hmm.
I'll give this one more shot then ask another forum tech to drop by.
In control usepasswords2, click the Advanced tab.
Under the Advanced user management, click Advanced.

This opens the advanced user control. Double click on "Users", then right click Seth if it's there and delete it.

For what it's worth, I am able to login to the machine under the administrator account in safe mode, tried deleting the "seth" folder and it still says access denied.

Oh, you got in.
In the control panel, go into the user accounts again.
Is Seth there?

The user "Seth" is no in the user accounts. Just FYI, I also tried deleting the seth folder in documents and settings and still got the access denied.
