How do I get rid of an account on my computer? That account is a "Administrator Account."

[Jeimy1318]

I realized that my account on my computer is not a Administrator Account and because of that I can't do windows updates and many other things because it asks me for the password that I don't have. How do I get rid of this Administrator account and make my account an Administrator account? Please help
