1. At startup hold Command S
2. Type mount -uw
3. Type rm /var/db/.Applesetupdone
4. Type reboot
It will come up with the welcome stuff, fill out registration and your admin account will be created. You can change your old account from Limited to Admin, or keep the new one. Password protect the one and probably back up the user from Macintosh HD/Users/Your account to a USB so you can get it back if your evil sister changes it. Mine tried that too!

An previous "Administrator" can use Control Panel to change your account status.
