My sister-in-law has forgotten her administrator's password on Windows Vista. I was going to reset her PC to factory this weekend. She also wants to upgrade to Windows 7.
Do I need to have a current Vista administrator password in order to run the Windows 7 upgrade? Or can I skip the "restore to factory" step, and just run the Windows 7 upgrade?

Nope you're pretty much screwed. The only way you are to get windows 7 is to do a clean install. Unless she suddenly remembers the password. Try rebooting and try a clean install. If you got the upgrade version of Windows 7 you will need to get the full install.
