Sorry, very hard to understand for me. I'm guessing...
Do you mean you got a 2nd hand laptop with Q4OS Aquarius already installed, with a working user password? Then it is likely that if you login with that user account you can use sudo and the requested password is the one you used to login.
Otherwise, please explain what the problem is with Q4OS and give accurate details.
