Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad was sat on my laptop in the living room trying to learn how to do some rewiring around the house when he, and I quote, ”clicked on the thing.” My laptop is now riddled with so many viruses it’s basically a house brick. FML
Today, my mom borrowed my computer without my permission and downloaded a virus. I came home to a blue screen of death. She refuses to admit fault and pay for a new computer. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, I got a blue screen of death on my brand new computer. Why? My parents installed an "anti-virus" before I got home. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML
Today, my dad learned how to use the parental controls. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew. I am 17. FML
Today, our work computers are down so I've been trying to fix it via my home computer for 3 days. My 12-year-old son took one look at the screen, changed 2 settings on a drop down menu, and the problem was fixed. My 12-year-old is better at my job than I am. FML
Today, I was having computer problems, so I let my friend have remote access to fix them. We were video-chatting on Skype at the time, and so he thought it'd be hilarious to load hardcore porn in my browser the moment he saw my mom enter the room from behind me. I'm now grounded. FML
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, I let my mother use my computer for school work. Later that day my mom asks me what's wrong with the computer. I look at it, only seeing a "Welcome to Windows XP" screen. She said that she saw a blue screen and pressed L and C when it asked her to. My mom managed to clear my hard drive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just download tons of horse **** on his computer. When he asks why, tell him that for some reason, you couldn't download anything on yours so you used his instead. :D

There is a VERY simple way around this, and for those of you viewing you may benifit. If his account is labled as "Administrator" well then stop reading here. However if his account is labled as lets say "David" then you may be in luck. Shut down the computer. Turn it back on and while it is starting up press "F8" and you will eventually be redirected to a screen with multiple options. Select "Start windows in safe mode". Windows will take longer than usual to boot up than normal but be patient it has to load a few other things. When it starts up you should see a few new things. For starters everything will be bigger (I won't go into why this is) and you'll see a new Administrator account. This is known as the back door to windows and its what those guys at the computer shop often use to charge you $50 when you forget your password. Anyhow, click on Administrator and it SHOULD let you right in with full administrator rights. Change the settings and you're golden. Hope this helps. It was a gift to you and if you're over 18 you have every right to use it as you please his house or not.

So that's when you buy yourself a laptop, secretly, and keep it in your room?

YDI for not knowing how to get around that. Seriously, there's nothing he can block if you can boot a LiveCD on there. lern2Linux, GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

my parents did that. for the next week, i made sure to do things through out the day to make sure i couldnt get on the computer to type up some "homework" i had to do, and my parents didnt like getting up from bed at eleven to come take off the restrictions. they also didnt like to come type in their password whenever i opened a new page and went to some god awful blocked site, like google. or my email. they got tired of it and took off the time lock and parental restrictions.

YDI because you can't figure out how to bypass it

I was expecting something at the end like "and I'm 21" I think that would have made it FML material.
