several hours later:

1] the accounts tab now displays $zero in sim101 acct which now make sense with ''not enough buying power in sim account''.

2] however, it now displays $zero and duplicate info for my fully funded dorman acct?

3] what does ''mirus'' mean in the account name field?

The help guide image you've linked is for NinjaTrader 8.

Please follow the instructions below to reset a simulation account.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the Accounts tab
• Right click on your simulation account and select 'Edit Account'
• Press the "Reset" button

Can you clarify — you do not see a 'Reset' button in the lower right of the accounts property window?
