how to change user to LIMITED from ADMINISTRATOR, on Win XP

In "User Accounts" on Windows XP, I currently have a user named John
who is a "Computer Administrator". I'd like to change this account to
"Limited", but it's greyed out, so I can't even select "Limited" as an
option. Also, I don't even see a user that is named "Administrator".

How do change user "John" from "Computer Administrator" to "Limited" ?

you are administrator yourself?
Right click on My Computer icon, select Manage and open node Local users and
groups.
In groups find the Administrators group.
Double click it and remove the user from that group.
