Removing/changing Administrator

My mother who passed away last year had a nice Toshiba laptop that I inherited. While she owned it the hard drive failed w/in a year and a half and the company she used to replace/fix the issue made themselves administrator keeping me from making certain
changes to it. How do I remove an administrator & make me the administrator of my own computer.

It runs on Windows 10. Please help.

Well, now as I dig a little my computer does list me as an/the Administrator... how on earth am I prohibited from removing password protection? I get to where in the control panel that this issue is managed, click on disallowing password requirement but
when I try to click on save changes its soft & not highlighted giving me a message that change settings are currently unavailable... ugh.

 

Inherited computer

my brother’s old computer is plugged in and aparantly

working. It lists his name as owner and asks for a password. I have used this computer before at his house and the password was “shooter” but now that does not work. Any suggestions on how to make this computer my own?
