erm, as to your question... those MS boot disks are purely to enable you to gain access to a CD drive so that you can perform an installation of Windows from a CD on a PC that doesn't allow you to boot from a CD drive.

In all honesty, the most easiest way to fix the problem your sister has got is to use ERD Commander I gave you a link to in a PM a week ago. It's unbelievably easy to reset the password with that software. It boots into something which resembles Windows, and has an application called Locksmith that you run, it asks you for a new password for the Admin account and then changes the password for you. You remove the CD, reboot the PC and the problem's solved. I can't think of any more simpler way of doing it than that.
