Most likely you will have to do a hard reset as the deauthorization should have been done by the former owner. As you have no access to their password and account there is no way for you to do the deauthorization "normally", which means a hard reset will have to be done. No harm here, just the need to play all your files onto the reader once again.

From the Kobo wiki here at MR:
How can I deauthorize a Kobo (or other) device using ADE?
PC instructions:
Open ADE on your pc, connect the Kobo to the pc. Then press Ctrl,Shift, E. You should get a box asking of you want to deauthorize, select yes.
Unplug your Kobo from the computer, and plug it in again. Now you should get a box saying that a new device has been detected and you can authorize it.
MAC OS X instructions
Open ADE on your MAC, connect the Kobo to the it. Then press CMD-SHIFT-E. You should get a box asking of you want to deauthorize, select yes.
Unplug your Kobo from the computer, and plug it in again. Now you should get a box saying that a new device has been detected and you can authorize it.
