Second Hand Laptop

Hi all,
My pensioner neighbour has just bought a second hand HP PAVILION DV6 Laptop from a friend of a friend's nephew! He is running Windows Vista Home Premium.
The problem is that the previous owners details are still in the laptop, for example, he wants to buy something on e-bay but does not seem to be able to open an account because everytime he tries the previous owners details come up and a message saying you are not Mrx.
How can he get rid of these details please?
Thanks in advance for all answers:)
