    Windows 10 Initial User Account Setup

    You need to change the account privilege from another user account with Administrator privilege.

    You can't change account privilege within the existing account, since that is basically a chicken and egg scenario.

    Unable to change administrator privileges

    If the Admin account password you are using to authorise this task does not work then either the Admin account profile is corrupt or you have made an error in entering the password.

    Unless it is simply a typing mistake you cannot fix the problem except by reinstalling Windows & hence also all your applications.

    Sorry, we can't help you, if you want it changed then you will have to ask your sister.
