Q: [iMac 2389] No admin or root rights?
After installing mountain lion 10.8, I was surprised to see I add no admin rights, and to make matters worse I'm getting a prompt saying I need an admin name and password every time I want to make an update to something or install something. This was a used PC the previous owner and, my friend ,can't recall the password used, since its a 6 year old Mac I understand, it was on a lot of peoples hands, belonging first to her brother, then her, now me.
Basically I can't do anything. The SUM passwd root gives me an error saying there is no root user which is rather strange.
Can someone help me figure this out?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Has the hard drive been erased since you got the computer or before you got it?
