@#23 Erm, so what if the person is 18? Why do people think that just because you finish high school that it means you should move out immediately. Some people don't get scholarships or grants. And not everyone wants to be in debt and have to payback loans. If you have the option of staying at home and going to college instead of moving out right away then why not take it? -_- And on top of that, if the person is a college graduate then it really doesn't matter if he's living with his parents. If you give someone a GIFT then it becomes that persons property. Any parent who thinks it's okay to become an administrator on a college graduates laptop that they gave them as a gift, has some serious control issues. Just saying.

just get married...thats my plan.

start it up in safe mode and turn all that stuff off. XD

OUCH

Welcome to the world I live in... It's called parental controls >.<

thats wat my dad did to me but i tricked him into giving me the password and changed it to something completely random that he could never get :) and #129 who would take the time to read that??? the OP wont cuz their like 7 since thier dad did that to them

If you have a pc wait till he has used your computer, signed in under the administrator, get on it before you need to enter a password again and change it so that you are set as the administrator. And to everyone who says his house his rules. while that maybe true as a parent you could be respectful and talk to him/her instead of being sneaky and forcing rules without even discussing them...

************************************************************************************************************** dude funny enough my dad did the same thing to me with the same shut down time and everthing on my laptop. Lucky for me it was a from walmart were you can return anything so I dug through my dads trash can in his office and got the reciet and traded the laptop in for the same one. I set myself as admin right away and password protected it. My dad still thinks it is the same one and thinks i hacked it even though im an idiot when it comes to using tecnology. I sugest you do something similar your dad probabily has the reciet

FYL, My mim would nvr do that to my laptop

is it a Mac? there's an easy way to remove passwords then ;)
