Hey there, Koddz2. Thanks for letting us know that you are wanting to remove the admin account from the headset. We know how important it is to be able to change your accounts around and we would like to help you with this. Kindly note that the only way to change the Primary account on a Quest headset is to perform Factory Reset, totally wiping everything from the headset, then login and use the new account during the setup process.
Before you do this please use cloud back up to save any data before hand.
Here is how to do the factory reset.
To perform a factory reset using your phone:
Open the Meta Quest app on your phone.
Tap Devices in the bottom menu.
Tap the headset connected to your phone.
Tap Advanced Settings.
Tap Factory Reset and then Reset.
To perform a factory reset using the headset:Turn off your headset.
Hold the power and volume (-) button on your headset down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Factory Reset and press the power button.
Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.Also, here is a article on multiple accounts in case you have any questions.
if you have any trouble with this please let us know.

For anyone else who has sold their Quest and need to delete their account from the device:
Official Meta reply from reddit:
Go to https://secure.oculus.com/my/devices/ and select to delete your previous device data and next time the device turns on, the very same will factory reset removing your account associated with it.
