How do we change Adninistrators

My husband gave me his old laptop, in which he is registered as an administrator.  I'm not able to perform many tasks because it is always registedred as administrator.  He doesn't remember his password or how this computer has been set up in this way. How can he or I switch to get the system to act as an administrator?

You may be able to connect with the built-in Administrator account.  Unless someone has changed the password in the past, you can connect leaving the empty password.  Once connected, you can change the attributes of your connection to give you administrator privileges.
