I got a lap top from my scool three years ago, I wasnt there the last day so I did not get mine locked up (Im not admin) And I tried to reboot my computer, but I need a password to even enter the rebooting(When you restart computrer and click F8)

Is there anything I can do with that? Is there any way I can get to be admin on my lap top?
