click the windows logo, then right click my computer and go to 'manage' within there should be 'users and groups' tab. within there should be 'local users and groups' then open up the administrators part. click add, then type in your username.
 
Login in as him and then go to:

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage Another Account -> Click on your account -> Change the account type -> Select Administrator and then click on Change Account Type.
