Have your brother perform the following.
Go to control panel.
Go to User Accounts.
Go to Change an Acount.
Select his account.
Click Change Password.
Enter the current password if prompted and leave the rest
of the screen blank.
Click Change Password.
If this is the only account this should resolve the issue.
