macOS Ard...

[guitarmaster18]

Hi, this may sound weird, but is there an applescript or something to disable Apple Remote Desktop? My Dad thinks that it is funny to move my mouse around when i'm doing my school work on my home comp, and I don't know the admin pass... Someone help!

maybe go to system prefs-sharing check ard and start firewall. that may work. not sure though

I think you are in a bad position, because after all ARD was made for this and if the computer is indeed properly configured and you do not know the password I think there is nothing you can do. Just imagine if a hacker could do the same thing you are trying to do...

Sorry

Ask your dad nicely to stop being a pest. Not very technical, and I don't think there's any Applescript involved, but it might work.

You could disconnect you network connection.

You could disconnect you network connection.

ahhh, thanks... Is there in applescript that could do that (Just wondering)

Isn't it easier to disconnect Airport/plug out cable?

No.

Just un-tick Apple Remote Desktop in the sharing area of System Preferences.

Do you have access to the Network System Preference pane?
Can you uncheck "Built in Ethernet" under network port configurations?

This will knock you off the Internet as well, of course.
