I must have gone to a great high school. I <i>actually</i> hacked our systems a few times.<p>We used a piece of software to lock down the PCs, IIRC, called Fool Proof. I&#x27;m not sure if it was supposed to be ironic, because it didn&#x27;t take long to figure out that it kept the clear text admin password in swap. The machines didn&#x27;t have BIOS passwords, so it was pretty easy to boot into a hex editor and dig it out.<p>When my teacher found out I did this, he praised my ingenuity and even got me involved in vetting alternative options, despite the fact that I had been handing the password around to friends like candy.
