    Kid I knew ripped the IT dept account and password out of Windows using a boot disk and told a few people including me.

    You could use the account to remote access any computer on the network. I used it to set a friend of mine’s desktop background to an image I made of the world’s ugliest dogs. Teacher caught me and I fessed up.

    Got yanked into the coordinators office and got a big spiel about how the account could have been used to access exams and reports and whatnot. Surprisingly didn’t get in that much trouble since I didn’t really use my great powers for anything crazy. Had to write a letter of apology to the principal and got detention for a bit and that’s it.

    Kid who ripped the password didn’t do any time from what I remember. Don’t think I ratted, or at least I hope not.
