Easy Transfer extra Administrator account

When I used Easy Transfer everything went well except the transfer program
created an extra account for Administrator that I could not use my name for
so I called it admin. I was the sole administrative user on XP and do not
want that extra account. I took a class and the consultant told me that
account was a XP system account and the only way to fix it was to reinstall
and not use Easy Transfer next time. Is he right about that extra
Administrator account? Is it really different from an ordinary Vista one
that I could just delete? The only thing I could find associated with it on
Vista were two duplicate program shortcuts.

additional info I found about the XP Administrator account-
The built-in Administrator account is hidden from Welcome Screen when a user
account with Administrator privileges exists and enabled. In Windows XP Home
Edition, you can login as built-in Administrator in Safe Mode only.
