Is your user a member to the Administrators group??  

If it is, you can reset the Administrator password by:
-Opening your Control Panel, then users and passwords
-Select the Administrator account and click the reset button.  
-Enter in the new password twice.

If you aren't a member of the Administrator group, your best bet would be to get the password from your brother!

By the way, if your not an Administrator and you are able to get into the Administrator account, you should make your user an Administrator!
His question should be answered, but I'm not sure if he's satisfied with the answer. I think a split would be the best.
