How do I find my OS X Administrator Name on 10.8?

I purchased a Macbook Air from eBay and he gave me the Password which was all fine, - However, whenever I need to do something like edit the users, It asks for a username and password. I have the password, but the username slot is blank.


I've tried the current "Full Name" Section that is displayed beside the clock, and at the "Log Out" toggle, but these don't work. He also gave me a list of every name he could've used, but none are working! 😢


I was going to format the drive but I can't even do that without entering the administration details 😟

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
