My macbook was recently taken to an apple store where they completely wiped it and re-installed the os. Now when I have started to reinstall my old apps it is asking me for a password as admin of the computer. I have tried the one that I used before it was wiped but it doesn't work, and I have not set one since it had been wiped. Help!!

If my memory serves me the admin password is input during the OS Install process. The Apple store must have put a default one in and not told you perhaps?
