Q: Forgot Admin name and pswd

I have a Macbook Pro (Mt Lion) and I cannot remember my admin user name or password. Tried until I'm tired. Re-installed OS, but that didn't change anything. Does anyone know how I can find out my admin name and pswd? I'm able to use my short name and pswd to log on, and thought that was my admin name and pswd until I tried to made admin changes recently.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), iOS 8.1
