Download Blocker

[Sandurz]

So, my parents are being assholes, and won't let me download anything. So, they've put up the old child blocks, and turned on the "download nothing, ever" option. They also won't let me install anything, including Firefox addons. Does anyone know any possible way of bypassing it without knowing the password?

[Froyok]

Hmmm, you could be a kind boy already...

Seriousely, for install anything, or, program who need administrator access, or install authorization.
What is from the ""download nothing, ever" option." ? (Antiviru, parental control ?)

[TheBigCheese]

It all depends on how it's blocking things. What program is it?

[Sandurz]

It's Vista's own child blocks.

I just want to be able to download, and use setup and .exe files.

This isn't looking good for you then, unfortunately. If you have access to an administrator account, you're good. You can simply disable it in the control panel. Otherwise, you'd have to crack the admin password with ophcrack or something similar, and then use it to disable it in the control panel from there.

With ophcrack, though, if you can't download anything, try using a school computer/library computer and download the cd image file to a flash drive, and then burn it to a cd at home.

I might have to use a library computer then, seeing as our schools IT department is really good. I've googled that much, but I was hoping that I could find some file that had the pass in there, as some Mac and Linux files do.

Thanks though. I'll definitely have to "study up" on that ophcrack.

Update: I figured out the password. I loled when I figured it out. "Mybaby"

OhdeargodpfffhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaaahehheheheee... heheheh... heh... *ahem*

Ok, I'm done.

Sheesh. Parents.

I'm going to laugh even more when Sandurz gets in trouble for downloading stuff when his parents told him he couldn't. He's just digging his own grave. This is great.

hahah I was busy looking for this link something to do with being able to make a new account and give it admin privileges through command prompt, pretty useful but I can't remember it or find it, not that it matters now.

I'm pretty sure that exploit was patched in Vista. In older versions of XP you could use the commands:

Code: Select all

net user <username> <pass> /add
net localgroup Administrator <username> /add

to add a new user into the Administrator group. It still works now, but you need administrator privaledges on the account you're running it from.

Yea, leave the password on and the download blocker up and just type the password in when you need it ...

they won't know you know the password, but they will figure it out if you turn it off ...

i still have the hammer if they start to annoy you...
