Administrative controls missing - so can not change anything

I was given a used computer with vista. I can't change all accounts due to lack of administrative rights. How can I give my account of the administrative rights

If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned the
first thing I could do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone
other errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc. and I
would not recommend anyone else to do.
 
If you reinstall Windows properly, you are playing with fire.
