Officially, he came in 2nd in each of the U.S. presidential elections of 1789 and 1792, which automatically made him Vice President both times.

That method of determining the Vice President was used only until 1800.

Back in the day, Vice-Presidents were the loser of the Presidential Race. If you finished second, you were the Vice-President. They did not have two person party tickets like they do today. Since Adams lost, he became Vice-President.
