Please Help On Security

I am a noob on comps. so I don't know if I have to find out myself or not, but here it is:

I bought a school computer and it still has school restrictions on it, I can't download AIM or anything. Is there a way where I can take it off?

 

I'd suggest jsut reformatting it. You don't want all that crap that schools do to it.

 

or I'm sure you could take it to school, and have the techs reinstall it without restrictions, if you do not know how to reinstall..

 

off topic but r u using it for school?

 

/format c:
xDxDxD LoOOOl..

 

Go away?

If he justs formats C:\, it deletes windows and he might not have a copy of windows to then install; which is why he should do what X said, take it to your school (if you can.)

 

Yeah school is probably the best thing or ask someone else if they baught one.

 

kk, thanks, i'ma take it to school, or i'ma try to ask someone I know, if there is anyone I know who can do something about it. If I re-format it, what do I need for that?

 

you need a cd of whatever you have on it now... (XP/98)
