You can use vipw(1m) and simply remove the user in question.

>It taken by login as admin.

Then you are done, admin has root access.

>>>how should i use the vipw(1m), whats for this command?

vipw - edit the password file change

man vipw -> for more information

>>>what to do after enter this command?

in your earlier post you have asked
>tell me how to delete the user account admin.
>I'm getting the error while trying to delete the user. "Login admin is currently in use".

so if your using vipw -> you do the changes even though user is currently in use.
