Your serial number tells me it is a:
Apple iMac "Core i5" 1.4 21.5-Inch (Mid-2014) Specs
Identifiers: Mid-2014 - MF883LL/A - iMac14,4 - A1418 - 2805
I am not familiar with the term advisor password. What exactly do you see when the machine boots up. Where did the machine come from? Did it belong to your step dad?
Was this answer helpful?
Well when I boot it up the mac sound plays then it's just windows 8 loading up and it's my step dads ex wives work computer that I can't reset
I'd try to just report the drive from an external USB boot drive. For all we know it might be iCloud locked.
Ok thanks again
First try booting up and holding down the option key and see if a Mac system comes up.

Are you able to get your system to boot up under MacOS?
by Dan
Please tell us what Mac OS X and what Windows OS you are using. It might also help to know which machine you have.

Well the exact machine I'm not sure and also I can't get it to run Mac OS X I hold option while booting and a password comes up and no matter what else it's windows 8 and it's a work computer so every step there is to reset it won't work

Look for an Axxx and an EMC number on the bottom of the stand.
