If your brother can't remember his username and password, I suspect he doesn't remember the root password either.
You can boot to a Live CD of something, mount the laptop hard drive, then follow Midou's suggestion. Alternatively, you could take a look at
System Rescue CD. I've not used it, but it's designed for just such situations.
If this laptop is dual-boot with something else, boot into the other OS and blow away the Kali partition. Your brother shouldn't be putting Kali on your laptop, anyway. Like fire, Kali is not a toy and not to be toyed with.
