    I have two older brothers, and two younger brothers, recently we all moved back in with our mom. Is hard enough not having my own privacy, but is harder trying to keep my oldest brother from controling every aspect in the house. This morning the 2nd older brother try to log into the family computer (there are two computers in the house and one notebook) only to find out that the oldest brother had set in an administratior screen name & password, and a family(guest) screen name. He limited the access to the family screen name, changed the settings to log into the internet, and denied the access to either MSN or AOL. Is there anyway that I can disable the restriction to log to MSN or AOL, is there a method that I could dissable his administrator screen name? in other words, what options do I have?

    Without the admin password you have no options.

    You might also give the posting rules a gander about meaningful subjects and the like. Help would be a lot more forthcomming if you didn't muddle up your posts with personal drama.

    This might get me in trouble, but you could always one up him and set a BIOS password, where the system wont even boot w/o it.

    Dunno if newer mobo's support that anymore.

    Are you bigger than your brother? If so, disable him and the password's likely to go to (just kidding) :D.

    Seriously, we couldn't tell you how to get around it even if we knew. The rules of this place are such that it's not allowed. The problem is anybody can make up any old story in order to get into a computer and we have no way of knowing if the story's true or not. Sorry.
