ARGH

I recently bought a computer from my brother. The admin name was his, and in
trying to change this, have caused some kinks!
There is no longer an admin user option at the start screen, nor from when I
go to "change user"... I have tried computer/manage (thinking I could disable
password and work from there), but when asks me for admin password to
proceed, there is box to enter the password. This has been my major roadblock
as I have the password, and although the system asks me for it, there is no
option to actually type it... any suggestions? Please, go easy... I'm not
that computer savvy!

Is your admin account now renamed or what?
Have you tried to login in this way..
