Hello, Xarc. I am not an expert, and I should not send my reply via e-mail because this forum is for everyone to read and learn from everyone. It's not for private correspondence.
Back to the matter in hand. You cannot change any user account to admin. WITHOUT entering the admin. password when prompted. Do you have the admin. password ? If you don't and assuming what you want to do is with full consent from the person who holds the admin.account, use the link below :Administrator Account

Re: User rights

t-4-2 is correct, you will need to logon as the admin account before making the changes as anything you do in the registry or done on the filesystem is saved into your specific user-account not system-wide....

There are ways to reset the admin password quite easily if you have forgotten the pwd...
