Reboot the computer.

Hold down command+s after the chime.

At the prompt enter the following. Hit return after each line.

mount -uw /

rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

shutdown -h now

When you reboot you will get the Apple setup, just as you would after a fresh install. Create a new account and Just delete the old one.
