Log in as the administrator and change the account. If she can't remember the administrator's password, then at your own risk use the following:

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

BUT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Yes, all of them. It'll allow you to reset the admin password, and then you can login and reset hers.
