This is what happens when an iphone has a restore done on it while still logged in to Find My Phone. It is a theft deterrent so that people can't steal your phone and force a factory reset using iTunes recovery mode, and have a like new iphone to use or sell. This feature is a part of the iCloud, and so if your Apple ID didn't work, then perhaps your sister logged in to iCloud under HER apple ID to back up your phone, so you may try her apple id
