SOURCE: how to reset the name and password on my mac book
You are trying to do something that has been disallowed by the administrator,
To do so you have to have the Admin acces (Admin Password)
As you stated this has been used by someone else earlier, so you have to contact him.
If you cant do that, there is also one more solution. to remove the admin password.
To do so, THE BEST OF ALL is to download the Hirens boot CD, (This is the ultimate tools collection for you PC, and FREE)
Download here, and burn it on a CD, boot from it and goto the Password recovery menu. There are lot of tools in it.
If you don't want to go throught this long process (which i will not recommend, its very usefull CD)
Even though, the tool that this CD uses, and i'v also tested it can be downloaded here.
Its call NTPWD.
Just burn it on CD, or copy in the USB (Boot from CD or USB)
run ntpwd.exe ( it will ask you which account to remove the password ).
Kinda its done, if properly follwed the steps.

SOURCE: Who is my computer's "Administrator"? How can I change it?
Hi Kaites33,
To create a Administrator account on your MacBook, follow the instructions below, however, please note that this will only work if "Open Firmware Password Protection" has NOT been enabled. Anyhow, it's worth a try.
1. Shutdown your MacBook.
2. Press the power button to start the computer.
3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) Key and the "s" key, until you see white text appear on a black screen.
4. At the prompt, type the following commands, hitting "Return" after each.
Your current Standard User account will not be changed/harmed.
During the creation of the new Admin account, remember to:
a) select "DO NOT TRANSFER MY DATA".
b) Keep the SAME computer name.
c) Choose a DIFFERENT Username (Otherwise it will overwrite your old account)
Once you have finished, you will have two accounts, and will be able to log in to either.
Optionally, when you are logged in with the new Admin Account, you could change your existing account to an admin account, then log out, log in to the old account (which is now an admin account too) and then delete the new admin account.
Hope this helps, and let me know if there is anything you do not understand.
Regards,
Cybernanga
