My sister put a password on my Wii U, and the only way to get a master key so I can reclaim it is via email. The only problem is, when she changed my pin, she also replaced my email with hers. I can access her email if I log on to her old desktop on my computer, where she has her email password saved into chrome settings; but the problem is, if I remove her password so I can log on, she will find out sooner or later an kill me. I am an admin, and this is a computer, so there has to be another to logon... Right?

Yup there are a number of laws that you could be charged under. CFAA, Wire Tap Act, "Unlawful Access to Stored Communications" to name a few.

Or just ask her to fix it

I remember being a kid, that never ends well. Best to just ask her to fix it.
She's been diagnosed with mental issues. If I ask her she will get mad and I will have to endure an unwanted lecture. But now that I think more about it, it is a crime to view someone else's emails...
