What program are they using?

You could get a flash drive or something and get all your downloaded files from a different computer.

Open up command prompt, and type this in it:
"net user administrator /active:yes"

Then you can log in with the default administrator account, and set a password for yourself or change other passwords.

[Hello Miss799]

I have Vista also and it's a bit weird, but if your downloading off of the internet try turning off your firewall because I had the same issue

Open up command prompt, and type this in it:
"net user administrator /active:yes"

Then you can log in with the default administrator account, and set a password for yourself or change other passwords.

i did the safe mode thing, and it has no admin account

Every PC has an admin account? make sure you did type: Administrator not just admin

Get ophcrack, but it to a disc, then boot from it. It should be able to crack most passwords. If ophcrack doesn't work, use this to just reset the password: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

yeah every pc should have an admin acc keep looking or google it

3.it shoud show all the accounts on the computer
4._net_user_(account name here)_*
5. it will say type a password for the user
6.pick the password

"net user administrator /active:yes"

wont work you need admin rights in the first place to do this that is the most basic disk operating system rule -.-

To set a password for an account that is a higher level than yours, you will need one of equivalent permission or higher. That's just how it works.

If you told us what they were using to monitor/limit your computer usage, it would also help.

 

[U Got Fried]

or u can just crack it google a program to crack passwords

Don't talk about password cracking here.

Instead of being a fucking tool, explain to your parents (Or prove) that they shouldn't restrict your computer access. It's better to be honest and gain your parents trust so they won't pull this kind of shit on you for the rest of your pathetic life.

Enjoy them taking your car keys when you eventually get a car.
