You could try doing a factory reset and then set the Kobo up with your own account which is likely to be more useful for you.

I think the probable answer for your Kobo's behaviour is that it is in demo mode. To exit demo mode, type "demo mode off" (without the quotes) in the library search bar. Oddest way of turning a demo mode off/on I've seen in a while.

The other way to enter demo mode is to add a line such as "demoModeTimeout=12000" in the configuration file ".kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf" -- note the leading . on the first directory name. Removing that line will take your Kobo out of demo mode, same as demo mode off in the search bar.

Edit: Not certain because it's been a while but I seem to remember that demo mode disabled signout and factory reset in the last firmware revision where I played with it.

Regards,
David
