Best way forward is to buy the disks for your machine and take it from there.

Leaving the original owners account on there is a huge security risk ... for him and for you.

You should purchase a copy of the Snow Leopard Box Set, and use it to totally erase (zero out) the hard drive, then install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard, iLife and iWork 09.

You will be very glad you did.
