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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

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

Welcome to my life!!! On the television, there is a block that needs a password. Same goes for the DVD player. On the computer, I can't play games, go on sports websites, go shopping sites such as target or walgreens, go on funny sites with cartoons, and I can't play CD-rom games. FML.

Just boot up in safe mode and change everything. OR You could Google "how to make yourself admin on vista or xp" which ever one you have. This really isn't an FYL it is just a unnecessary frustration

for those guys who keep saying download ____ to crack the pass... he CANT anyway, heres what you do, simply delete an important windows file, you may have to show the contents of local disk C, so that the computor cannot boot up tell your dad that the computor crapped out and you need to put windows back onto it he will take the CD and put it back up now theres a fork in the road: either A: hes too stupid to know how the replace the controls and locks and problem solved or B: he does, but now you know where the windows CD is.... BINGO, simply put the windows disk in your cd drive and reboot the computor from disk. Reformat the drive and reinstall windows YOUR way hope your dad does not notice, and be sure to make him an account or you could get a new hard drive and put windows on it.. THEN you could have both drives and download a pass cracking thing so you know your dads password that he PROBABLY uses for many other things. This way you can make his account admin with the same password and occasionally ask him to let you download something

Changing the settings of OP's dad might not be a good idea. You don't think he won't check the computer from time to time? If you wanted to do that you could just reinstall Windows... I'd go with the "linux on flash drive/Live CD" idea here. There are pretty good howtos on the web. If you aren't proficient with linux and don't want to learn, try Ubuntu, even my mum can use that. If you do, Slackware might be for you, or Gentoo, though portage kind of sucks. If you are proficient, you'll know best which distro is for you. There's even a window manager that looks just like XP, forgot the name though.
