I happen to think it's an insane idea to give a bunch of students laptops, but, that issue asside, is it even legal for you to circumvent the protections (however poor) the owners of the computer have put in place on it? There had been a recent story in the news of similar students in Pennsylvania who recently "defeated" a poorly thought out protection system and are now being legally charged with crimes.

As much as we promote running Knoppix, we do not promote breaking laws or running it on any system where the owner is actively trying to prevent you from doing so. If any posts are made to help you, they will be removed from this site.
