I need your help, guys! · 9:38pm Jul 30th, 2013
Hey guys!
So, my mums boyfriend has put all these password blocks on my computer so when I try to download something it won't let me, I just want iTunes! :'(
I would bring it down and ask him to download it for me, but I kinda haven't done any updates on my computer in like 4 or 5 months (maybe even longer...) So, he would yell at me and wouldn't give it back to me... He's done it before, I downloaded skype before and he had a go at me because "It could bring viruses onto our router..." Okay. -.- So that's kinda why he put the password block back on.
Anyway, whenever I try and download stuff, this message comes up:
So I was wondering if there was any way to get around it, or any way to put songs on my iPod without having to download stuff?
Sorry guys, it kinda sucks because I'm going to Ireland, my phone's SD card is broken so I can't get any music and I haven't updated my iPod's music in about like 3 years... so it'd be an amazing help!
Thanks XD
I don't think there's really anything you can do. I'm not much of a computer knowledge man dude guy, but I think there's an account called administrator and you have to log into there to do any changes to a computer block
1250131 But there's a password on that one Ugh, it sucks to be me. I need money to buy my own laptop so he can't do any of this shizz
1250131 is correct. Without the Administrator password there isn't really much you can do.
1250137 Ugh -.- What about (totally not illegally) putting songs on my ipod? What is my life, I'm 16! Why do I have to have all this...
At least I don't have that stupid thing anymore where I could only use my laptop a certain amount of time each day, or I couldn't go on certain websites like occasionally my tumblr dashboard coz it had a swear word or was apparently porn (which it wasn't!) -_-
(Sorry, I'm ranting! XD )

I can't help you with that, as I'm not a user of Apple products. But I can sympathise with what you're going through, as I used to have the same restrictions on my computer usage when I was your age.
And feel free to rant as much as you want.
1250150 It's the worst thing And it's not like my mum is even doing it, she's not happy about it but he's the computer genius
Ah, I only use an iPod, luckily skype works on that or I would never be able to talk to my boyfriend...
Have you tried hacking? Meaning try to think of the passwords he would put up.
1250183 yup... Couldn't get them He's managed to hack my passwords a gazillion times though, even if they're unpredictable..
1250186 He's good... bribery maybe? Or hire a computer person to hack for you.
1250190 I'd go for the bribery, myself. Hiring someone to hack the computer seems a bit illegal when I think about it
1250193 I guess you're right. But the thought crossed my mind. If he's your MOM's boyfriend, he shouldn't be allowed to be doing that. Let's keep it legal
1250193 I know people that can hack, but they can't since they're in different countries
And he's not very nice, I doubt bribery would work
1250196 Exactly, he shouldn't but he's a controlling knob
1250205 Well then, I guess then it's time to bring your mom into this.
1250211 I don't really wanna complain to my mum about him, coz me and my sister promised ages ago that we'd put up with him so my mum would be happy...
1250228 But your mom is supposed to help you, even if that means breaking a promise.
1250264 Ah, I guess, I'll try once I update my computer and come back from Ireland XD
1250277 That's the spirit!
You could always hack it...
Hacking is risky though.
I think if im not wrong, there is a small file in a map in iTunes with the password mixed in a code if he have opened iTunes as an Administrator.
But thats a really old version of iTunes.
You could try to search for that...
1250228 You can break it aslong as you didn't Pinkie Promise.
1250347 He hasn't opened iTunes, I haven't had iTunes since he last wiped my computer Thanks for the help though!
1250354 he just... REMOVED ALL YOUR STUFF?
Thats a discrase towards all geeks, gamers and surfers!
HE MUST BE ELIMINATED
No but...
You said you where SIXTEEN?
Im younger then you and my parents doesn't even touch my computer!
Im allowed to do anything i want!
I feel bad about you...
Poor little soul...
1250362 Yup :3 It took me ages to convince him to get me steam XD
1250375 Wow...
Poor you...
I can so whatever i want.
Download steam, iTunes, TLKSega... everything aslong as i scan it when im done...
You really need to do something about it!
1250514 I shall try
1250524
Wow, I feel really sorry you. That just sucks!
Maybe try to convince him to let you or him scan the downloaded files for viruses, when he`ll see that everything you download is clean, he may loosen up a bit.
And I`m no expert on viruses, but I think if you download stuff like Itunes and skype from their official webpage, you can`t get viruses.
1251425 I know, but it's not like I download stupid stuff... =.= It's just annoying...
