just use the sethc reset trick (dont actually do it)(#1576)Use a rootkit. I'm not going to name any for obvious reasons, but there are some for $15 that change RAM values on boot and remove all the passwords on the accounts.
My friend decided he wanted to gain admin access on his school laptop so uh that's interesting
The only way I can foresee that being possible is if he got the admin password from an admin either through A) looking at their keyboard while they're typing it in, B) hiding a camera in their office or C) installing a keylogger on their computer. B) and C) are illegal and if this happened, the school board could easily change the password anyways. Another option would be to use some zero-day exploit in whatever software my school/school board uses for privilege escalation. Knowing that my school board is fairly competent when it comes to their IT, however, that seems unlikely to be feasible. That leaves brute-forcing the admin password. And of course, we all know that's a terrible idea.

A few months ago, my entire district was hacked by somebody. They got into the program that allowed teachers to spy on us, send us to links, ect. They sent everyone to a site with a popup asking for their passwords (It obviously trying to steal our data) and later sent everybody to a document with everyone's emails and what they entered in the box. They continued to mess around with it and even took down the site blocker. There was a police investigation and we still haven't been told who/what did it.

My school has set all of our passwords as our student id number which are all printed out and.put on a keychain so anyone can see any password.
Cmd prompt isn't blocked but of course there is no admin. Some sites are blocked but turbowarp isn't. Also I can install any extension on chrome.

We can launch command prompt and PowerShell among other things thru recovery mode. For some reason, they installed a gaming performance app and launcher. It had a built in proxy and VPN. Minecraft education was allowed and sanctioned my first year of middle school. We had a full on so. I remember someone downloaded maps from home and sold them. Those were the days.

My teacher uses the same pw for all of her accounts as well, I could easily gain access to anything. Haven't checked it against grade software but prob would work. She's terrible at digital literacy.

internet archive and github are pretty understandable but blocking github also got other sites blocked that are perfectly fine, pandoras box was one that got purged by my school
meanwhile the indian port of nowgg is unblocked so you can technically play roblox on the ipads, everything is unblocked on the computers in the business classroom for some reason even though they are on school wifi

My school doesn't block much (Lightspeed Filter,) but they do have a classroom extension which means the teacher can block stuff on the fly and see what you're on. Apparently I found a way to bypass the blocking part of the extension using an iframe. Still, the teachers can see what I'm doing. I've passed out the HTML file for the game I've been playing to my friends (only one of them atm.)

Hot take: Schools have a responsibility to install monitoring software on school owned and issued devices. This software has saved lives. On school issued devices, the school has a right to install this because they literally own the device. They want to make sure that instead of giving a group of kids unfiltered access to the huge internet (which has a lot of bad things that shouldn't be exposed to school aged children), they can make sure that they are accessing websites that they need to be accessing.
If you want to play a game, don't do it on your computer that the school gave to you to do schoolwork.
I do not support schools installing this on computers they make you buy.

My school got BYOD now. No rules except no off-topic stuff. So I can and did run a TinyCore x64 Linux VM, ran Firefox and did all my stuff on there and it was FASTER. Probably because the Microsoft can't hack me. Haven't checked the internet blocking yet. The school didn't even notice!. Oh and the monitors in primary school said “Works with Windows VISTA”. 15 YEARS ago. That's older than some of the students, times TWO.

Also my school blocked any searches for the word “Game”. I found out when googling stuff for robotics.
