In System Preferences , Users & Groups, Control click (right click) on the account name and you will get the option to go to Advanced Options. In there, see what the Full Name says. If it says Admin's Macbook Pro, you can change that to your own name. Do not change anything else. You have to restart the computer.

Read the warning in that section and make a backup you can restore your Mac from in case something goes wrong.
