But first you decide, and then you do.
Maybe this was about Linux or some server or a company but if you want to be a administrator I bet you'll have to communicate more about what it is what you want to administrate.

I click tools/options, I am told I need administrator rights.
The account created by Windows setup has administrator ritghts. Accounts you made yourself can have them, if you specified that it when creating it, or changed it later.
If you're logged in a non-administrator account, you can't make yourself administrator or create a new administrator account. That would be big security risk.
So if you use the right logon, you already are administrator. If not, log in to an existing administrator account to set your current account to have administrator rights, if necessary.
By the way, what tools>options do you click? There are so many programs that have them, that telling what you told isn't informative at all.
