Administrator password on Vista

I have got a strange situation, I had three accounts on the computer one been the administrator. The problem is that someone changed that account to a normal account, now I can’t do anything because I don’t have administrator privileges. If I try to change anything it asks for the password, I didn’t use a password as administrator! Is this a default password? Or is there a way to make a new user with administrator privileges.
Thanks for any help.
