The only way i have managed to fix this problem is by booting the disk via a Dell laptop, which then give the password prompt on boot and then assuming your sister knows the password, removing the password via the bios.
You can remove those passwords with hdparm too (although it's marked dangerous, experimental and all that) it is just ide security mode which I have disabled and enabled before when upgrading a hard disk in an old style xbox for more storage when running XBMC which was via a linux live cd specifically for the purpose.
