I bought a laptop from a guy who has reprogrammed it and is still the device administrator, which means I can not install or uninstall any software or programs and I have no control over my device.

Your best option would be to reinstall ubuntu. If the person is a friend you could ask for the password. Otherwise there is the possibility that some form of malware was added to the installation. follow one of the many guides online to backing up your files and reinstalling ubuntu.

When you insert a live USB/dvd of Ubuntu, you can choose to erase the existing system and install the new one, so you can have a fresh start – Redhairedman Aug 30 '16 at 06:46
