Determining an Administrator user name is simple enough. Refer to Change Users & Groups User preferences on Mac - Apple Support.


To change these preferences, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.


A list of users appears at the left.


If you don't know your Admin password, that document describes how to Reset your Mac login password.
