Make sure you're in the directory of the files you wish to change ownership
of and:

$ chown -R admin *

(The "R" means recursively chown all files/subdirectories within current
working dir.)

If you also need to change the group owner of the file:

$ chown -R admin. * (user "admin"; group of admin)

or

$ chown -R admin.someuser * (user admin; group somegroup)
