I assume the OS is Vista, just follow this link http://www.walkernews.net/2007/04/10/hack-windows-vista-logon-account-password/

Try contacting the person you bought the laptop from and see if they know the admin password. If the seller does not know it then, unfortunately, you will have to reinstall the operating system, regardless if it is Windows or Linux.
4 :
Never buy a used PC without a legal factory supplied copy of Windows or the factory Recovery Disks (AND the PC User Manual). Assuming you have one of them, RTFM. The User Manual explains exactly how to reset your PC to "Factory Fresh". This will remove all the former owner's passwords, installed programs and data.
5 :
sometimes you can reboot into safe mode and turn off the password. if you can't then you'll have to reinstall windows or whatever OS
