How to hack your school computer
- 1Restart your computer via the Power button. Press and hold the Power button on the school computer until your computer turns off, then press the Power button again to turn it back on.
- 2Wait for the startup screen to appear. In most cases, your computer will alert you that Windows didn't shut down properly, and you'll have a few startup options which you can select with the arrow keys.
- 3Select Start Windows Normally. It's in the middle of the screen. To confirm your selection, you'll press ↵ Enter.
- 4Restart again via the Power button. Your computer will reboot like it did before, and you should arrive at a startup screen again.
- 5Look for the "Startup Repair" screen. If the startup screen has repair options (e.g., Launch Startup Repair) listed, proceed to the next step.
- If the startup screen has the standard startup options listed, select Start Windows Normally again, then restart it again via the Power button. You'll need to keep doing this until you arrive at the "Startup Repair" screen.
- 6Select Launch Startup Repair (recommended). It's in the middle of the screen. Doing so will prompt the startup repair sequence to begin running.
- 7Click Cancel when prompted. You'll need to wait for about 10 minutes after doing this before you can proceed.
- 8Click the "View problem details" drop-down box. It's in the bottom-left corner of the error message. A drop-down list of notes will appear.
- 9Open Notepad. Scroll down to the "If the online privacy statement is not available..." heading, then click the link below it.
- 10Open your computer's system files. Once Notepad opens, use it to do the following:

- Click Open... in the drop-down menu.
- Double-click Computer in the window which opens.
- Double-click your computer's hard drive (usually C:).
- Double-click the Windows folder.
- Scroll down and double-click the System32 folder.
- 11Change the file type you can see. Click the "File type" drop-down box, then click All Files in the resulting drop-down menu.
- 12Replace Utility Manager with Command Prompt. This will allow you to access Command Prompt even if it's blocked on your computer:
- Find the "Utilman" shortcut in the "U" section of files (not folders).
- Right-click "Utilman", then click Rename
- Type in Utilman1, then press ↵ Enter.
- Find the "cmd" file.
- Right-click the "cmd" file, then click Copy
- Press Ctrl+V to paste in the copied file.
- Right-click the copied file, then click Rename, type in Utilman, and press ↵ Enter.
- 13Close the "Open" window and Notepad. Click Cancel in the lower-right side of the "Open" window, then click the X in the top-right corner of the Notepad window.
- 14Exit the remaining windows. Click the X in the top-right corner of the error report window, then click Cancel in the lower-right corner of the Startup Repair window and click Yes when prompted. At this point, you can proceed with creating a new Administrator account.
This wikiHow teaches you how to gain administrator permissions on a school PC. In the unlikely event that your school uses Mac computers instead of Windows computers, you will not be able to hack into the computer. Keep in mind that if your computer's BIOS is locked down, you will not be able to hack your school's computer. You will not also be able to hack your school computer if it is connected to a domain (meaning policies on the computer are managed remotely).

Part 2 of 2:Creating a New Administrator Account
Part 2 of 2:
- 1Wait for the login screen to load. Once your computer finishes restarting, you should be back at the login screen.
- 2Click the "Utility Manager" icon. It's a dial-shaped icon and arrow in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Since you replaced the Utility Manager app with Command Prompt, clicking this icon will open the Command Prompt window.
- 3Create a new user. Once Command Prompt opens, do the following:
- Type in net user name /add making sure to replace "name" with a username of your choice.
- Press ↵ Enter.
- Type in net localgroup administrators name /add again replacing "name" with the name of the user you just created.
- Press ↵ Enter
- 4
- 5Select your new user. Click your new user's name, then click the Sign in button. Since you didn't create a password to go with your account, you won't need to enter one.
- 6Allow Windows to set up your account. Your account is new, so Windows 10 will need a few minutes to finish setting up your files and folders.
- Skip this step on Windows 7.
- 7Browse with Administrator privileges. Now that you're on an account which has admin privileges, you can use your computer's system services and programs without restrictions.
