You would want to create another admin account then delete his account.
Are you able to use the laptop ?
Are you logged in with your own account ?
What type is it ?
Admin or a standard user ?
To check... Go to Control Panel, then User Accounts

Yes I am able to use the lap top, I can log on. It's a HP pavilion 7 I am a standard user, the problem is if I need to install new stuff it asks for the pass word as the administrator. I don't have the pass word. Went to control panel, then to add or remove accounts, this is where I get stuck because it asks for the pass word

That`s because you are only a Standard User
If it`s your laptop, why not just ask him for the password, so you can login as him to create yourself an admin account.
And if you should create another account, don`t use/setup a password, they are useless. In my opinion :)

It might be best to try and get the password from your ex, as suggested, since this is a very sensitive area and discretion must be used by our members when answering
