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.
The thing is, she hasn't got internet access as yet and you may find this strange, but I don't have a cdrw, so that's why I was trying to find another way.
