LOL @ REDACTED - SS. that's borderline reckless "advice". not only it's ineffective, it'll also result in warranty voiding and possible damage to the laptop if done incorrectly. voided warranty means no free after-sales support and pc damage is self explanatory. this is why REDACTED - SS and the like are never advised... apart from their inffectiveness.

like SS says, we can't verify the legitimacy of your pc's ownership... wait, from the OP it looks like it's not even your pc, it's your sister's. in that case, you won't get any help here. we can't help you with breaking into someone else's pc.

Hi incorrect

Just in case there is a mis understanding by incorrect
If you mean a guest account that is even more restricted than a normal restricted user account and is normally disabled by default

Can your sister still log in to the laptop ?
If so ask her to create a account for you

If not get her to take the laptop and proof of ownership and proof of identity to a PC or laptop dealer and pay a small fee to have the admin password reset

This will loose any windows encrypted files
