Description

Recently i tried to help my fren register into my blog. But eevrytime i try to register for him to my blog using my own pc, the new user i registered is given a level 10 privilege. And i cant seem to delete the new user now. Does wordpress automatically give level 10 to new user if they are registered through the same pc or IP address?

Please describe which way you're registering this user: with the interface in wp-admin, or with wp-register.php?
My guess is that there could be a case of register_globals and cookies at work here, but we need more info from you.

with the wp-register.php

I had recently retested the whole sequence by setting up a wp through another pc. And after that every user i register using that same pc also have access 10 privilege. And yes, i cant delete them.

Try this to change the user level:
Back-up your db and try changing the user level via phpMyAdmin.
This might help though it describes how to change the admin password and not a user's level:

If in doubt, don't try but ask:

Sounds fishy to me. My guess would be user error or the use of an unstable build.
