Have you tried booting into safe mode (pressing F8 at bootup) and using the Administrator account (hope she didn't put a password on that too).

You can download a recovery cd.
Burn the ISO to a blank CD using the likes of ImgBurn.
Boot the laptop from the CD and let the program run.
You should end up with something like this, from an old XP machine I had.
