Answer 2

Only an admin can make another user an admin. So if you have no administrator accounts on the machine, and it isn't on a domain where a domain admin can take charge, then you're effectively locked out. If you do have an admin account on the machine then you can go to the user account settings and make the user an admin.

You must be admin to change a standard user to administrator. Login to admin account present on the system and then you can change other user to admin level.
