You cannot change a former owner's account. If you don't have the username and password for that account, then you must first repartition and erase the hard drive, reinstall the original version of OS X that came with it when it was new, then upgrade it further, if you wish. I cannot assists you further because you have not provided information on the exact iMac model you have.
