Computer Administrator

I recently left my job where they required me to purchase a company
laptop (Toshiba Portege) which was set up on their network and I was
given a limited account. Now that I have left I took the computer with
me but I still have restricted privileges and a limited account and can't install programs
and everything. Is there a way to become the administrator and
eliminate the other account? I have Windows XP operating system, any
help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your help.

Re: Computer Administrator

     When I first got this computer. there was another person in my home who also  had a computer. She listed  me as an administrator too. However, for some reason when I tried to uninstall McAfee programs so I could renew my other McAfee programs , the system said I had to be the administrator. Well I am the administrator and she no longer live here.
