In Windows, the user "Administrator" has full access to everything
Change the Administrator password to anything you want
Login as Administrator, and change the admin rules for your username back
reboot into your account
I'm kinda wary of doing bootdisc hacks, as I don't know much about computers other than the basics. Is that safe?
I opened up setup last night in hopes to do a system restore, but that wasn't available. I found the Administrator password(not her User admin) and changed it there, but I have no way to log in with it.

Yeah, she renamed my original account and changed the password. She then created a secondary account with limited privileges. And I just checked and I can run CMD.

I didn't buy it, but it was a gift given to me by my father who doesn't live with us.
And while you're at it, you could just install linux =P. Give her the password to that and just watch her TRY to screw with it.
Haha, but then I'd have to screw with it. I'm not nearly tech savvy enough to use Linux.
