Thread: Vista Hax

So my mom, in a fit of Cunty McBitch-ness, asked me for my password to get onto my computer.

Being trusting, kind, and not knowing that she was gonna be a fucking bitch, I gave it to her.

She goes on and changes the Admin rules as a way to "teach me to be more mature and responsible" because I don't go to church/believe in God and I "watch trash like The Office."

How about if you treat me like an adult I'll fucking act like one?

I'm no longer admin of my own computer, a computer that she should have no control over and that I allowed her access to out of the kindness of my heart because she left her laptop at my uncle's house.

There's time limits, content filters, activity logs and all this other bullshit. I can't access any of my files, I can't even open Mozilla cause its not allowed by the Admin. I can't install a neccessary Flash update that keeps popping up.

Please help me get around this.

She had no right to do this to my personal property.

I'm gonna try and do a system restore to an earlier date but I can't find my Vista disk at the moment.

I'm so pissed right now I'm contemplating formatting my entire hard drive but I just did that a month ago and I don't want to lose all of my files/go through the hassle again.

Wow. Seriously? Wow.

Yeah, and I allow it to corrupt my sister's eyes and soul.


Edit: And I just found out she put parental controls on the DVR/Dish. That I pay for.

seriously, i would try talking up face to face with her about it first, but of course you are in tech talk to you probably want an alternatice.

i have no idea how to get back into your computer, but if youre into revenge, then teamviewer.com (free easy to use remote access program) could work...
there are functions on it to stop all receiving input, effectively freezing the mouse and keyboard of the recipient, remotely controlling everything that happens on the other end, and completly blacking out the screen.

this is of course an extreme, and only works once, but i love screwing with peoples heads while using it.

EDIT: how old are you? im relating to you more and more

I've spent the past hour trying to talk with her.

She got mad and said if I didn't drop it she's gonna pack my shit and take me to the City Mission(a place where homeless drug addicts go to spend their nights).


I'm not into doing anything like that on my computer. I just want to get control over my own property and lock her out of it for good.

arrgh, alright, well im sorry i cant be of any help, good luck though!

Hell go to the City Mission, it would be an interesting experiance. Its a good thing my mom isn't that tech savy. And yea... so how old are you? Move out if your 18, you can become a hobo. ^__^

Shit dude that fucking sucks. What I did to my school administrator laptop was I downloaded a copy of Ophcrack, burned it to a CD (using any programs that use ISO files). the rest is pretty self explanitory. It's a linux live distro. Boot it up from ur pc and the it'll do the rest automatically...

UPDATE: okay i just realized you did that...

If you ever get your shit back I recommend making a second "hidden" account that you can use as admin when she's not looking. When you log in to your normal account shell think its still restricted

- OR - my personal favourite

dual-boot (or reformat) with linux!! LOL I'd love to see her struggle to get linux to remove administrator! hahahahah

Now that you have admin access you should definitely protect yourself against any further attempts. Download a keylogger and set it to run at start up. If you can find one that is completely free (as in, has all its features without having to pay) set it to invisible. Like someone else said, no password of hers will be safe and she'll go on thinking you have limited access.

Another possible option is creating a seperate user name for yourself so that you can give her you password, but still have your own admin access.

I would also suggest that you stop paying for the dish if you still do. You might lose some tv time, but we have to make sacrifices to teach our parents some valuable lessons about reasonable freedoms.

Whatever happened to her losing admin priviledges? Did she scream at you and then force u to give it back to you or she'll completely wreck your life? That's sounds like the motherly thing to do...

Why do you live with her, you should leave.

I think she just forgot about it... lol she goes on my computer sometimes, but doesn't do anything.

Because I haven't been able to find a job since January 2007, so I can't afford rent.

Also because she was in a car accident and can't lift more than 5 pounds or even vacuum the floor without being in pain for at least a day after. So I do basically all of the chores in return for not being charged rent(yes, she charges her children rent)
