Ok, I went into System and then Computer name. This computer was set up under a Domain name. I tried to change it back to Workgroup but it doesn't look like I have the credentials to do this even though I am logged on as the administrator.

I opened up gpedit.msc but I am not sure where to go in here to change the permissions for the administrator account. It does look like this machine must have had some settings applied through Group Policy. I am going to recommend a format and reinstall for this person since I have no clue what kinds of things were setup when this computer was on a domain.
