You're gonna need an admin password. Here's instructions on how to reset the OS and put in your own.
#1. Reboot
#2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
#3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
* mount -uw /
* rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
* shutdown -h now
After you will get the intro Movie, and prompts to set up a new admin account. After, you can delete the old admin account. (Don't forget your password for your new account! )
