Hello there! I'm having problems with parental controls. I was playing around with it, and now I have time limits, websites blocked, and I can't use any applications. And I can't remember the password to my admin account. Is there a way I can override parental controls/change my account to an admin account without access to the admin account? :mad: :confused:

I'm a rolling stone.

No.

You might be a teenager here asking to get rid of the parental limits your parents set.:rolleyes:

Sorry kid.

"You" had to enter an admin password the MAKE the changes in the first place. Your parents obviously have controls on your computer for a reason. Go negotiate with them.
