Tampering with school laptop, help pls

Hi all, I have a student laptop and I'm taking it away with me, while in class, I updated my laptop to the latest windows update on accident... logging me out of the teachers password, but it changed stuff, I'm no longer able to log into YouTube under my own username, as since I may need it while I'm away for a school project, I need to tamper with it, I know how to change some stuff to make my account an admin, but will that affect how I can browse the web, also, is it possible to change the history, make it so I can't be detected whilst I was away?

Help me make my life easer

 

If your school has limited permissions for users in place it's important that you follow them

 

Not when I kinda need YouTube for work and music, year 11 is tough mate, something to do with the windows update caused the block on YouTube, I gotta fix that

 

Install Linux (Linux Mint; OpenSUSE; Fedora; Arch Linux) or install Windows from a DVD/USB.

 

Just run them off a disk instead of installing them. If I installed any operating system on a school laptop, even if it is an improvement, they would slaughter me. If that is, you can get into the BIOS at all. I tried to install Ubuntu onto a computer in an empty IT room (because I am such a bad ass) and it asked for a BIOS password, which we weren't told. Just ask one of the teachers, one of the nicer ones, and just say to them "I might of slightly made a bad thing on the computer" and just act really dumb almost, so you made it seem like you are incompetent (unless you have pride in your intelligence then just say you did it by accident).

 

or find out the password which in my school was "Sherlock"

 

That's got to be the worst password ever.
That is if you don't count my schools password, it's just "Gym".
Stands for "Gymnasium" (#german) .

 

gymnasium isn't a german only word you know

it's also used in english, and in english gym is also short for gymnasium

so gym being short for gymnasium probably isn't news to anyone

 

My school passwords (mind you, for the entire virtual network. The entire school platform is from central servers running VMbox) are password. For the STAR test that is supposedly second only to the SAT and ACE? Password is admin. Wat

EDIT: @above, gymnasium/gym/gymnastics is from Greek for nude IIRC.

 

My god, I did not like that STAR test. In my school, there are routers in the middle and high school with the name of [Insert school name here] Air traffic. Guess what the passwords were for both parts of the school? airtraffic. My god, why? Those routers were used less as well, since it didn't have 3 computer labs connected to it, and were better in general. They also use "wonderful" Novell products, like client and Vibe. The client has a network of drives that have your files on it, but it is as reliablility as a toliet. Sometimes it doesn't flush. Once in a while, you log in with its "secure" reliability, and sometimes it gives you the wrong profiles files, since everyone has a username like, 2019127 or 2020196. It MISTAKES your number and gives someone elses. And the Vibe. Oh god, no. It's in its own catagory, beacuse you don't have a clue of what it's supposed to be. Is it a forum? Is it like dropbox? If it's either, it is equivalent to the crap it goes down the toliet. It's one link, and if you go back, you just go toblank and back to the main page. You can't trust your stuff being uploaded because it sometimes goes like, "Hmm, nope. I'm not gonna do it." At least they are getting arid of it next year with Google Docs.

About that problem, if you can, can you tell what "beautiful" programs you have to use in order to use your computer, if at all? That way, maybe then we could tell more about what the problem is, since sometimes, especially school computers, it might not be the update.

 

The moment I was this I knew I would be of help. Install Google Chrome (only browser I'm aware that'll do this) and install the extension from the app store thingy called "ZenMate"

Passwords are cleaverer at my school. Not that I haven't been able to log in as a teacher (not admin ) and plant "things" (batch files that fake being a virus, and the "You are an idiot" piece of code) all over the place. I'm working on bypassing admin to screw up a bunch of computers in my least favorite class. Probably by deleting drivers.

 

Don't tamper with your school laptop. Just get your own.

Trust me. (Don't ask.)

 

A bit late, but:

Replace sethc.exe (Sticky Keys) in System32 with a copy of cmd.exe. Then before logging in, press the Shift key 5 times and a command prompt will show, with full access. Use it to create an administrator account.

To replace the executable, you'll need either a Linux live CD/USB, or a Windows repair disc. It can also be done from Windows recovery in most computers, assuming you have access to at least one user account (doesn't need to be admin) and there's nothing actually wrong in the OS (auto repair must fail for this method to work).

- - - Updated - - -

See above. If you simply want to screw up a computer, boot from a Linux live disc and delete random system files, or the whole Windows folder. You can also do this from Windows recovery.

I don't see why you'd want to do that, however. I did delete Windows on a PC at school, but it needed reinstalling anyway (broken Windows).

 

Hi all, thanks for the replys, sadly, I don't have a USB with me, I'm currently away in Sydney, I left it at home because I thought I wouldn't need it, I've tried every old trick in the book, but the user account control grabs my ass in everyway, thanks for telling me about BIOS passwords, I forgot about those, since the security is so damn tight on these things I bet there will be on there, not a chance I can crack that, also, if anyone is making software, you'll need to make sure that it won't set off any anti virus software, it will go straight to the I.T guy working at your school, I tried to open the CD drive on a school computer, it tipped off the anti virus and it alerted the server. The security here is like bloody jail, no way through! but... I have one small window, but its blocked by user account control! If I can go back 2 windows updates (which is 2 weeks ago) then I can unblock the bloody website, it happened after the update, so I just gotta do that and I'm good, just need to try and bypass User Account Control.

 

Create a 50GB partition from a Linux live CD and install Windows (or a Linux distro of choice) in it.

 

Very late, replace the Ease of access center so the window doesn't close every 3 minutes ;D
