Changing User Accounts - Vista Basic

OK folks if anyone can help correct Santa's error in setting up a PC running Vista Basic it'd be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to change the properties once an account has been set up. Basically a PC has been given a user name, and I want to keep the same user name and set up a seperate admin account although there is currently only one user account which is obviously set to admin.
Many thanks!:beer:

If you go to the control panel and switch to classic view (option on left side of window), then click on user accounts. You can create a new user account and change (admin) priveleges from there.
Hope that helps
