Dude, if you spend your entire life in front of the computer you will never get lucky. Go out and spend some time with humans.

Yes, but involves the following...

1. Getting a Job
2. Moving out of your parents house
3. Buying your own computer

It's much cheaper and easier to put up with parental controls.:D
 
Instead of spending so much time on the computer, you might learn some English grammar:

"like too know" should be "like to know"
"dont" should be "don't"
"theres" should be "there's"
 
There are several:

1. After the limit logs you out, log back in again
2. After the limit logs you out, go outside and play with your friends
3. Ask your parents to discuss changing the limit
4. Try and break your mac to find a loophole that lets you do this
5. Ask others how to do 4

Do you really think 4 and 5 are wise choices?
 
There are several ways to do this though they involve hacking the Admin account, depending on the OSX version we are dealing with.

Isn't it simpler to just try and plead the case to improve your access? (If they find out that you've tried to hack the admin account they will just see this as justification for them limiting your access to begin with.)
 
LOL. I agree with the previous poster, but then again it's just a time limit. It's good for you. I know you hate it but I would just let it be. I can understand, my parents set time limits on my XBOX 360 playing time to 30 min. You've to be kidding me. Also, I think one of the posters may have been onto something with the log in/ out many times. IDK how time controls work, but I wonder if it's just per login or if it's registered for the day. I would say the second. Good luck figuring it out. Someone will eventually get you something.

Cheers

That was so awesome of you to dig up a year old thread to suggest the community of MacRumors help the OP disobey his parents.

Activate the root account. Your parents will never find out.

And I found a way!!!!
It is similar to unlocking root user:
(reboot, press alt key while boot to boot in the recovery partition, open terminal in utilitys, enter 'resetpassword' and select root and assign new password and click ok. Than you have to reboot normally and at the start screen you press DOWN key and than alt+enter. In the fild you write root for user and you password for password.)

I on my MacBook Pro created a new admin account via single user mode. It works quite good. If you have admin access you can hide the user in the system. But this is too much to tell you now.
 
Don't remove it

As a parent myself my child plays on his xbox 360 all the time he has no social life and not many friends I set up to parental controls on my sons xbox and he has therefore had more of a social life and is more active therefore he has a lead in the real world and not just sitting around playing some xbox games.
 
find somebody who knows the password but instead of adding time you make them log in the adminstrator place and then u just alter the time ur self oh and it must be a chaotic time so everybody was like in a hurry so Nobody would think about it or get suspicious.

Id say that you'd get a pretty good shot at doing something that wouldn't involve messing with the password. As someone going through the same thing, I´d say your best bet is to have them leave tracks on the keyboard so that all you´d have to do is figure out the order in which the password is typed. Sadly, I have no access to a hack of any kind, so this is all i can give you for advice. I´d recommend using some glow in the dark liquid, so that they won't really notice that they are leaving tracks in the keyboard.
