Q: Bought a lovely iMac running Lion sand need to reset admin password

I need to update to maverick so that I can buy and use pages and iphoto etc

However i need my admin password and the previous owner doesnt know what it is and I dont have any install disks

I am running Lion 10.7.5

I have done the reset password in terminal thing and successfully changed something but all that seemed to happen was i got a new user!!!

when i log back into my user account which by the way has no password and try and install maverick i cant get past the admin password issue

Please Help

Martin
