Is there a way to check if the user has given us the correct administrator

There isn't necessarily a singular administrator account, and of
course then there's also root.
First you might check to verify that they gave you a admin user by
checking to see if it's a member of the admin group.
Next you can check that the password they gave you is correct with
`chkpasswd`; see it's man page.
