Author Topic: Best way to fully customize a school laptop that has limits?  (Read 2165 times)

I hacked the school computer once, totally regretted it, I got suspended for a week, and as well had to serve some time in juvenile detention. Phoenix has some pretty serious laws about hacking, as well, every time I hack I get in bad trouble. Why? Because authorities are so damned nowadays!
Welp, that's bullstuff.

also, if you wanna get pro get DR-DOS

http://www.drdos.net/download.htm

I doubt any of you know how to use this, I don't have much knowledge, but I did follow some tutorials on the internet on how to hack. I remember those instructions to this day.

oh my loving god, are you handicapped?

Get a dvd / cd
Download ubuntu or any other linux and burn the cd/dvd
keep the cd/dvd in your computer!
Shut down windows, boot again
Enter boot menu (it should show how to do it)
Boot from cd/dvd
Chose "try out ubuntu" do NOT install it
When it's done loading, mount your C:/ drive
Go to C:/Windows/system32
Find Utilman.exe
Make a copy of it (you will need it later)
Delete the original one
Find cmd.exe
Make a copy of it, call it Utilman.exe
Shut down ubuntu and go back to windows
Click that help icon at the bottom left
Enter "net user [adminuserhere] asdf"
Press enter
Log into admin account with pass "asdf"
Give your user admin privilegies
Log out of admin
Change your theme on your user
Start ubuntu again, delete your faked Utilman.exe
Get your safe copy of Utilman.exe back in there
Go back to windows and enjoy new theme
???
hax

No you didn't lol.

That changes the admin password on this computer to asdf. They will know I did.

Believe it or not this computer doesn't have a CD drive.

'Nor does it show on the computer files menu any drives.
'Nor does it allow you to open the console.

here's a solution, just be a good boy and deal with it

my school laptop had restrictions like it was the loving third reich

Use a LiveBootUSB then.

Btw, does Laptops have CMOS-battery on their motherboard? Plugging it out and booting it for a sec without it and placing it back should clear BIOS password. (Or not, if it has setup password)

I don't understand the concept of school laptops. I go to one of the top scoring highschools in California, and thus one of the highest paid highschools in California, yet we still have to ask for donations to pay for printer paper. How the forget do you guys get school laptops? It seems like a titanic waste of taxpayer dollar. If you don't have a computer at home, you're living in the early 20th century and you need to spend two to four hundred dollars on a cheap laptop to escape from your Amish lifestyle. Then you don't have to worry about not being able to modify your settings, you can do whatever the forget you want with your laptop. I've never had a single reason for needing a school provided laptop. If I work on something on computers at school, I can access my home directory at home via netstorage and download the file to keep working at home. Plus, giving thousands of highschool kids laptops to carry around with them all day sounds like an awful prognosis for each individual laptop.

I went to school in California just like Trinick, we never had school laptops at all from preschool to highschool. Now that I'm in college I still use a desktop for every at home. If I need to do calculations or take notes I just use paper, if it's a really hard problem I use a calculator. Man you new gen kids are spoiled with your technology, just be glad to have a lap top to do school related things on.

Heck California has the Silicon Valley where all those big tech companies are and google are at and we are still behind with the times as many of the places in the state lack fiber optic network.

Here in Denmark the government gave a free iPad 4 to every single student of pretty much every public school a few months ago. IIRC Sweden did the same.
I really don't see why. I almost never use it for anything, instead I just use a spare laptop I bring from home anyway.
