I created a new account for Kobo as I was interested in getting some new books to read on it.

However, as I attempted to sync it to my computer I found that I was not able to access the reader as I would have to authorize the former user's account!

I want to be able to change the account that is associated with the eReader and keep the 100 classics that were featured on this device but be able to manage the library from Kobo Desktop. I fear that doing a factory reset will result in me loosing the books that I am currently enjoying.

Any helpful input will be greatly appreciated.
From your description you have either the Kobo Original or the Kobo Original with Wi-Fi. These are the only Kobo ereaders that came with 100 free classics pre-installed. The 100 free classics are stored in a database so you will not be able to find any specific files associated with them on the device. The good news is that after a factory reset the 100 free classics will also be restored to your Kobo. The only books that you will lose are the ones added by the previous owner.
