Answer:
Did you get a Mac OS install disk with the computer? If not, you'll need to find one to borrow. You're not installing anything from it and you'll be able to return it. You just need one to run a utility to reset the admin password. Boot from the installation disk. On the first screen, pick a language to use and click the arrow in the right, bottom corner. On the next page, look up at menu along the top of screen. Click on the Utilities menu item and then select Reset Password... from the Utilities list. Select the hard drive icon in the top section, select System Administrator from the drop down list of users and then enter a new password in the next two boxes. Click Save and then restart. I hope that helps.
