How to get administrator account again?

I have done something stupid -as you do-concerned with security I changed my administrator account type to user type thinking that my other user account would automatically become the admin account.
Now I have an unknown account [which could be Toshiba factory account] as the administrator which asks me for an unknown password for certain tasks etc.
Can anyone help me out with any suggestions other than restoring my computer back to its factory settings pleeeease?

YEAH I do not know why I have done this -BUT-
I do not have an account with admin priv. Windows was installed at the factory and after consulting and trying a few things with Windows support[at cost] it was suggested that the admin password prompt that appears is probably toshibas ALSO this account name is hidden from me all that appears is the password promt box when I go to change anything requiring admin. permission. Windows suggested transferring all my files etc. that I wanted to external device and then contact Toshiba to reset to factory settings I am trying to desperately avoid this- WHAT A MESS thanks for any input-

How to get administration password

Please advice how to get administrator password

With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
of actions, choose Terminal. When Terminal opens type:
resetpassword
and press enter.
You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case. Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box. Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset. Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?

This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

-- drop table #p

@ Jing
Again not sure if it is ok to comment on other people's answers, I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but your query will not account for CONSECUTIVE days. E.g. if the acc balance goes back to a positive value, day count must be reset.
Now I understand why people answered this so much faster than me LOL.
Edit: Besides, the requeriment for the acc being returned is that its value was negative for 5 days (120 hours). When a given account balance first switches to a negative value, it has 0 hours in that state. It all add a day to its "negative balance consecutive
day count" property the next time its value is checked (cal + 1). With that said, if your query worked, it would be cnt > 6 not cnt > 5.
Thanks for pointing the issue. I have improved my query to address it.
I try to come up with something to my understanding to the questions. It may not interpret right from the question itself for various reasons. I still consider it is a great learning experience. Thank you for your comments.
