Try re-installing Ubuntu
1: Bring a Flash drive of 8Gb or more
2: Download your own choice of Ubuntu ISO from "https://www.ubuntu.com/#download"
3: Make the drive bootable and Burn ISO in it.
4: reboot, go into Bios setup and Boot from USB
5: Follow the steps, and make your laptop brand New... :)

I agree with Hamza. You never know what they did to the system and since there is no way to "reset to factory defaults" in Ubuntu it's better to reinstall IMO.
