My parents installed this program called net nanny that monitors where you go on the internet and blocks inappropriate stuff. The only problem is that the thing is so glitchy that its blocking me from even getting on the internet at all. I found out the password for the account that works though, but I can't use it because if my parents find out, I'll be in big trouble. What makes it even worse is that I can't fix it for the normal account anyways, because then they will know that I know the password for admin. Its really sickening and I hope they get rid of the program all together. Anyways, I'll be back on as soon as I get everything sorted out.
Step 1
Tun on the PC and wait for the operating system to fully load. Open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows icon on the desktop tool bar. Navigate through the Programs menu and click on the Net Nanny option.
Step 2
Type the phrase "~frontdoor" into the password field and click on "OK" if your computer has Net Nanny version 5.0 or earlier installed. Check all of the boxes under the "Allow" field. Change all of the drop down boxes at the bottom of the window to the "Allow" setting and then click on "OK." Open a web browser and attempt to access a blocked website.
Step 3
Press the "Ctrl," "Alt," and "Delete" keys at the same time to bring up the task manager window. Click on the "Processes" tab to find a list of all the program files your computer is currently using. Click on the entry named "Ocraware" and then click on the "End Process" button. End the processes for the entries named "Wnldr32" and "Net Nanny." Close the task manager window and open a web browser. Attempt to access a blocked website.
Step 4
Open the Start menu and click on the search box. Type in "msconfig" and hit Enter. Double-click on the MsConfig program when it appears in the search results. Click on the "Startup" tab. Un-check the check mark boxes labeled "NNSvsc" and "nntray.exe." Restart the computer and attempt to access a blocked website.
Step 5
Open a web browser and navigate to a proxy website such as "StupidCensorship." Enter in the address of the blocked website you want to access in the proxy's address field. Hit the Enter key and see if the Net Nanny program blocks the proxy from functioning.
How are things around Haro? Spring break just started for me but I won't be going down to the coast this year. Oh well.
