I suspect that when you made the new user, ie you in your username, you did not add yourself to the admin group. I have never seen an oem install of ubuntu, so have no idea what would normally be needed to add the first admin user, but I'm sure you should be able to add yourself to the admin group by booting to recovery mode and then using the command
adduser username adminchanging username to what you chose when you made your new user, of course.
