Hello, I hope that this is the right forum to ask this question, but I am at my wit's end and want to know how to fix this.
I work with my brother at his retail store and he lets me use his mac. It's basically the same computer with two different computers He has his computer and he has set me up with my own things which we can both log in with a password. On my side, as it does get boring waiting for customers to come in, I can check out different websites like TV Guide or Digital Spy or check out clips on Youtube. Everything was cool and I could stay on for an extended period of time for the past year and a bit.
Then about two months ago, something happened. My brother asked me if I had accessed any bad sites, which I didn't. (It's usually Youtube or any entertainment sites or business sites) The next thing you know, I can't access my hotmail or Twitter and some pages that I used to be able to access, It says that these pages can't be accessed due to parental controls and I don't have the administrative codes to fix this. Also, now it automatically logs me off at 7 pm, no matter what. I tried to ask my brother what to do, but he was as shocked as I was.
I did think that my brother was doing something to limit my usage. I wasn't sure. He was able to fix things a bit with regards to certain sites. However, in the past few days, I've been watching the store while he's away with his family in the neighbouring province. Yesterday the computer logged me off at 7 pm as per usual. Today, unbeknownst to me, at around 4:30, I was watching something on the CTV Video Player. (after a boatload of customers had come in)I had to re log in to my computer as I was not able to load up other websites. When I logged back in, I received a message from Parental Controls that I was to be logged off at 5 pm, 2 HOURS EARLIER. My brother was far away and couldn't access the computer. I did not know what was going on!!
My question is What did I do in the past 24 hours to warrant being logged off 2 hours earlier? My brother was on vacation and I didn't go on any bad sites. Why can't I access twitter or my hotmail?? How can I fix this problem? Will I ever lose more hours? (I'm not there for the whole day usually, only for the last few hours around 4-7 pm) Why is this happening to me? I'm at my wits end!
Can anyone help?
