It has an administrator account.
Did you forget the password?
Can you give us more info?

1. Click Start, and then click Log Off. When prompted, click Switch User.
2. On the Welcome screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL on your keyboard.
3. The Log On to Windows dialog box appears. In the User name box, type Administrator. In the Password box, type your Administrator password. (If you have not assigned a password, or you do not know your password, leave the Password box blank) - Click OK.

Windows will log you on as an administrator.
Go to 'user accounts' in the control panel and create a new account.
(make sure its a administrtor account you create ;) )
