After I had added a new user account on my mac, I became a normal user (instead of being administratior). So, now I just don't have any administrator acconut and that's why i'm not able to install apps or make any changes in user preferences and so on. I tried to fix this problem by starting in Single User Mode and rebooting, so that I can add a new admin account, but it didn't work. Is there any other way to set up an admin account?
It does not help at all because I do not have any admin account. Even if I reset the password, I still have my normal user account, but with a new password. What I need is to create an admin account, so that I can install different apps. Right now I do not have any administrator rights to do that.

You can create a new administrator account by restarting the Setup Assistant:
Reset Admin Password
Restart in Recovery Mode (command-r). From the Utilities menu in the Mac OS X Utilities menu, choose Terminal. At the prompt enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press Return. A Reset Password window will pop up. Select your startup volume in the top of the window and then, from the pop-up menu select a user account.
In the fields below enter and confirm your new password then click on Save. Now choose Restart from the Apple menu. Your Mac should now use the new password you’ve created.
Here is the fix:
