Probably best would be to install Windows fresh right away. Unless its a BIOS password, just erasing the OS is the quickest way to get rid of the login/password thing.

Agreed, thats the best way and not just for the password issue... the previous owner may have programs and other files loaded that your sister would never need or use. Reloading windows will give her a fresh clean system.

Did you mean to say downgrade instead?

Indeed, Vista is nothing much. If you are not interested in DX10 and god awesome useless graphics,  stick with XP

Maybe it's just me, my laptop came loaded with Vista, I like it. Theres things about all versions that annoy people.

I just need to find out why my desktop has started killing hard drives.

There is nothing bad with vista, specially that its a 64 bit OS, but its just a hog IMO.
