How to Bypass Vista Parental Controls

There are several ways to bypass Vista parental controls and the following list is just a few ways which will help you defeat or get around those annoying filters and pointless parental controls.

Use a Proxy
This method has been used for ages and it still works just as well as ever. If all you need to do is bypass the web filter on windows vista then a proxy is definitely the way to go. Simply do a search on Google for proxy sites (and believe me you can find thousands) and once you find one thats not blocked just use it to browse the web without restriction.

Boot from a live Linux CD/DVD/removable drive
you can find tons of free live Linux CD's which allow you to run a Linux OS straight off a CD or DVD without installing anything to your computer (same goes for removable drives). Obviously if your running an entirely different OS which leaves no trace on your computer after you remove the CD/DVD you really don't have to worry about dumb Internet filters or being tracked. There are even Linux/Unix OS's which will allow you to install windows aps (if the Linux/Unix OS is running on removable drive). By using one of these OS's (like Bart PE, which is completely free) you can run all your video games, surf the web, and use the computer anytime. Note: making a simple live CD/DVD is pretty easy but installing an OS on an external drive can be a little more complicated so make sure you find proper instructions online.

Remote Control Another Computer
This option is great because it allows you to do pretty much anything you want and if your parent walks in the room all you have do is minimize your browser and you'll be ok (unlike the Linux CD option, where I'm pretty sure your parents would get suspicious if they saw). There is one major drawback though, this method requires that you have a non-parental controlled computer connected to the Internet at all times. So pretty much the only way to make this work is to either find a friend who doesn't mind you taking control over their computer whenever you need (I find that only works on really nice girlfriends/boyfriends) or buy a cheap pc from a garage sale and then hide it somewhere your parents wont find (which is also fairly difficult because, remember, you have to have it running and connected to the web at all times). But if you are successful at finding a PC you can use then what you need to do is install some remote control software on that pc; I suggest either using the free software from Logmein.com or from NTRconnect.com. Both LogMeIn.com and NTRconnect.com allow you to access the pc you install it on from any web enabled computer. Note: if you cant find someone who is willing to give up control of their pc or find a spot in your house to hide one, I suggest that you might might try a combination of both; find someone who is willing to hide your pc in their house. Eureka! Problem solved.

The previous suggestions were just a few ways to beat Vistas parental controls but if any one knows of other ways to get around Vista parental controls make sure to leave a comment describing how, and I will add it to this post. Note: please don't leave suggestions like how to trick your parents into giving you a password or ideas like reformatting the hard -drive and reinstalling. I only want suggestions that would work for anyone and that don't risk damaging or destroying data.

i got administrative access for a few minutes while my dad left the room and i managed to change the magnify exe in the system 32 folder with a renammed cmd exe which allows me to opeb command promp on the loggin menue throu the button on the lower right hand corner with command prompt you can activate the built in administrator which is by default deactivated or you can launch explorer.exe which brings up a task bar start menu and desk top but you cant use another instance of windows explorer if you use this method. You could probably also alter these files by booting up with a lenux disk and altering the files there i havent tried it but it should work

A good proxy site to use it Skurfit.com, I have medium restricyions, and it's working fine for me...

Anyone try a simple keylogger? If I send a keylogger, and she tells her father it is a school blah blah thing, and then she installs, wouldnt that be easier? then she lears his password and she is good to go from there, and can talk to me without my ex seeing everything?

please reply:

If you don't have access even for a short while to the box with admin privileges then have a look at keelog.com, either buy a hardware keylogger or make one if you got some electronics skills, they also explain how. If you get your hands on the computer while mom/dad/sister/boss/bank employee is not paying attention then.. well a software keylogger would do just fine, and mail you the results too :) so many out there - but beware, you might get a virus or something.
Better write your own, it'll be such a joy to get the password using your own nicely crafted tool :D It takes about a month if one has no ideea about C, but knows at least the basics of programming languages.
Or if the problem is with mom or dad, get your own damn computer, and move in another state while you're at it :)) I'm kidding with the moving part.. erm.. and then again it's not such a bad ideea.

Anonymous said...

You can try getting a shredder and manually override the disk space that the software is on, or simply get a linux/windows disk and install it on another hard disk then reformat the previous one.

Does vista have 'safe mode'? becuase generaly with multi user systems if you boot in safe mode theres an administrator without password. then simply turn off the parental controls...or give you admin privlages..

all admins have passwords in safe mode

Hi, i u guys have realised u cannot use a proxy on youtube the site will come but the video will not appear, does anyone know why!!!

Anonymous said...

u cant view videos because while the proxy pulls up the page, the page is then linking DIRECTLY to the video.. which is blocked. unfortunatly i havent found a way past this.

Anonymous said...

ok, guys use https://proxy9.info
always works fine for me, but sometimes my problem is applications,
and without modifying settings, the only way i found so far was to use linux cd, whic you guys advised, so does it run freely without asking administrator's permission???

Anonymous said...

hey guys and gals i found a VERY simple way around time restrictions. when the computer boots up press the key (usually delete) that brings up the setup menu, then go into the first menu you see it will say something like CMOS settings or CMOS date/time something like that.. anyways just use that to change the time on the computer and save it (don't forget to turn it back though!). You're welcome

Here me youthful peoples of Vista.
I bare unto thou thy solution to all thous problems.

Go to the command prompt in the start menu, right-click and select "run as administrator". Now type in the following:
"NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:YES"
Type exactly that (although not in CAPS works too), then log off and on the welcome screen, you will see a new account. This is the almighty Hidden Superadmin account and it shouldn't have a password yet. You might want to add one. It has total control over all accounts, including Admins.

This hack will not work if you are not allowed to run programs as an Admin, although a few careless seconds alone with an admin account will fix that.

Once you have finished, you may want to enter this command in the Admin command prompt to avoid detection by parents:
"NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:NO"

I'm still working on a patch for the flaw.

So here's what you do:
While the computer is booting, hold down the F8 key. When the boot menu appears, select "Safe Mode". When it gets into Safe Mode you should be able to change the way users loog on and off in Control Panel. Set it to Type in Username and then reboot. Go back into safe mode and at the login prompt type "Administrator". Then you can go into user accounts in Control Panel and be able to change whatever you like.

someone mentioned this, but you can change the system time in the BIOS. Estimated 40 seconds to change back if under pressure.

If you can get admin access, run the command prompt and input:
sc config WPCSvc start= disabled

it disables parental controls

(you can also do it with admin mmc services)
C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe

open the services snapin

I have found a very very simple way around Parental C. blocking youtube. You simply go to any site that has a video embedded from youtube and click on the video and you are in! However, this does not work if a direct link is blocked in which case I have no idea! P.S. Does anyone know how to download stuff without those silly admin prompts because I know that my father means best but most of the time they are just really annoying!not using a proxy because they are very dangerous!

Anonymous said...

that all sounds very great, but i see it, you need at least acces from the admin, or it's password, when you run as admin, you need it's password.

when you have to turn it off, you need a limit time on the account, like that you are faster clicking to it and turning your sound off.

you can try system recovery to the very first day but that doesn't work for me since the F11 button doesn't work on restart ...

this is all very annoying XD

so if more comes up, pls don't hesitate to tell, because i don't like being at 10 am all the time to be abe to go on a pc during ma parents holliday ... ( and i'm 21 ffs...)

Angel said...

If you have a time restriction, when you want to use your computer all you have to do is go into the BIOS and change the time. I have more details on my blog,
Overclocking

Anonymous said...

a question for anyone brave enough to answer it...

if your parents set up a filter/time limit/application restrictions, why do you want to hack them? *might* it be a good thing that your parents don't want you to watch porn videos and waste your life away on your stupid computer?

hmmmm... just wondering...

Anonymous said...

And if you are 18 or 21 and still living with your parents? Get a job you lazy phuck so you can move out and buy your own computer!!

Angel said...

I don't know. I just find the stuff and write about it. Microsoft has no way to monitor the BIOS. If you have a time based restriction, changing the BIOS time will let you bypass that restriction. by the way, I changed my blog name form Overclocking to Computer Stuff.

If for some reason you can't log in or you want to go to restricted website or you just want to run a certain restricted program, you can of course use command prompt. If you are even in the admin account, you can change the screen saver option so it opens a command prompt. (If you are in the admin account you don't just turn off your parental controls, thats too simple)

Then when you are on the login screen you just wait for about 5 minutes and you will have a command prompt.
Many parents put time restrictions.

just use ophcrack boot disk. it will scan for hashes and pull the password of all users. the freeware version only works for alphanumeric passwords so it can't find special characters without the updated tables.

Anonymous said...

I have a computer and whenever I try to play a game like Perfect World or Combat Arms, the computer always requires a password because it think the program is 'unsafe' is there anyway to bypas this because if there was it would be the best fricking thing ever.

PS: I am not a computer whiz

Yes, you are using Vista, you should mention that. You need the Administrator password or to use an administrator account. If you are your own administrator, then you know the password.

As a perent who set up controls for their porn addicted teenager, I thank all of you for letting me know the ways around the restrictions. Thank you. Now go to bed.

Ed said...

Note to parents: A lot of parents tend to walk away from the computer and forget to log out; this pretty much negates administrative privileges as any bright young person can make changes to their account restrictions, or, just use use your account and erase the histories.

A suggestion: create a separate Admin Account, do not give administrative privileges to any other account. Use this separate account to place the desired levels of activity restrictions and activity logging on the young person(s) account(s), while also putting activity logging on all adult accounts as well. Yes, this means that your account will not have special privileges.... and your account will be monitored by, but not restricted by the Admin account.

This way if you walk away from the computer and forget to log off, the separate admin account is still logging activities in a way that a simple erasing of the histories will cover up.

If your situation is severe enough, you may want to put yourself under similar restrictions as your young person. In which case you will have to input the admin password to get past the restrictions as they are applied during your use of the computer.

xboxlivegoldfree said...

For all parents, the safest way to prevent most, if not all the techniques listed here, just put a password on the BIOS. When your kid wants to use the computer, go and type in the password for them. You can even watch what they are doing this way, they can't get in without that password unless they disassemble the computer to remove the internal battery that stores BIOS information. (If they do that there is not restriction because they could also get themselves a new hard drive with an unprotected OS and do whatever they want that way.)

Thank y'all sooooooo much! I tried a free key logger, and it worked!
Here's the trick for windows vista if it won't let you set up the keylogger program without an admin password:
-in your username:
1. download the keylogger
2. go to it (i downloaded mine to documents), right click and select extract all
3. right click on the new, extracted keylogger folder and select 'copy'
4. open the computer folder
5. (i have an hp pavillion so this is what it said for me, it'll probably be the same drive, C:, with a different name for you) Under hard disk drives, click on the one that says HP_PAVILLION(C:), has a microsoft window icon on it, and has a blue partially-filled bar to the right of it.
6.click on Users
7.click on public
8.right click and paste the keylogger folder into public
9.(optional step) right click the folder and rename it (lol. i named mine Anbu Black Ops b/c i knew my parents wouldn't bother looking at it. thanx naruto obsessed friends!)
10.(optional step)type a bunch of bogus word documents and save them in the renamed keylogger folder. to someone briefly glancing at the closed folder, it now looks like it only contains word documents.
11.here's the sucky/tricky part. you have to wait for a user with admin privilages to leav thier account open. (i got my mom to use the computer for a couple minutes. she always forgets to log off/switch user.)
12.once you're in the other user's account, repeat steps 4-7.
13. click on the keylogger folder.
14. click on set up.
15. complete the set-up wizard and you're good to go.
16. remeber to set the keylogger on invisible mode/ hide it!!!
17. enjoy! :)

You Idiot Parents said...

To the douche bag parents who wish to tell us it is a privilege and to disconnect our asses, or that we just watch porn all day.

You are despicable. Falsely accusing our generation as a whole of being porn addicts, and blaming us for the reason why there's parental controls.

Let me tell you something. My mom set 24/7 time restrictions on my ass.

All because she got pissed off that I swerved while driving BECAUSE she hit my hand to get to the radio controls.

You Generation X people are senile people with fixations on trying to prove yourself right. And when you can't, you exercise bullshit parental controls to once again show how superior you are. How immature.

I payed for my 1 grand Gateway FX with the money from MY pocket. I ALSO pay for the internet service. It is not my 'priviledge' it is my hard earned right.
Also, I do NOT wish to hack parental controls to (as accused) watch porn. I wish to hack it cause i need to work on a project for a 1000 dollar contest.

Wow okay, definitely annoyed that Vista is like a guard dog on speed and acid. Super secure, but crazy and overreactive.

And because I have a pet peeve for people with horrible arguments...
To those GenX'ers out there, no not everyone is here to watch porn. That would be the Biased Sample Fallacy, for anyone with brains around here. The rest of you might want to look it up. I for one have multiple classes that function roughly 70% of the time online, and parents who are so mad that they have to go up and input their password every few minutes, have just stopped. So now I am just stuck with nothing. Yeah, it's beautiful.

And also, to the guy above me. No I don't think us "GenY'ers" will end up just like you, because unlike you, my friends and I have learned not to make stupid assumptions like that. And that would be the Genetic Fallacy. Look it up. Maybe you could sit down with your kid and give him his options, your opinions, and actually let him live his life? If the worst my kid was doing was watching porn, well, I'd be happy. Keep the leash there for things like cocaine or gangs, not myspace...

Ok, here's an idea. If you can get access to the registry, there is an entry under the Parental Controls in the HKEY_LOCAL hive. It's in HKEY_LOCAL/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Parental Controls. It's called URLExempt. Any web addresses in here can not be blocked by WPC.

fact is, if your kids are searching for ways to defeat your parental controls, there's no point in having them in the first place.

you can't shield your kids forever. at this stage it's too late... kids will relentlessly go until they find it and there's nothing you can do about it. you should have taught them earlier WHY certain stuff is bad, and WHY it's not good to look at this stuff instead of saying "because i said so!"

It's a good age-check. If you're not old enough to figure out how to bypass Parental Controls then you're not old enough to handle the internet. You might think you're old enough but you're not. Like us you'll get wiser when you get older and will understand then why it's the case.

Well my parents also activated parental controls on my user account and changes it to standard user instead of admin -.-" this means that i won't be able to play MMORPGs like Maplestory and also visit sites like blogs and youtube etc. Any method to bypass this thing?

Caleb said...

all ur methods are useless (or barely usefull)

proxy - won't help with most games
linux livecd - parental controls can ban downloads

remote desktop: lame

i think the only way to get rid of parental controls is to crack the admin account with backtrack or chntpw and turn it off.

That Guy said...

If you are having problems installing programs, then try using 7zip to unpack them, if that does not work, use Universal Extractor, and if all else fails, use Ubuntu.

(Before trying this, try to find a zip version of the program, or the binaries. Note: most Mozilla programs will bring up a password box, but then will let you install on your account when you cancel the box.)

Hope this helps!

Anonymous said...

Here's a novel idea...just be honest trustworthy individuals. Kids, your parents wouldn't have the parental controls on if they felt they could trust you. Students, the restrictions at school are so you will focus on your schoolwork and...doh!...learn something (and judging from the horrid spelling on this site you need it). Adults, employers block sites to keep the honest people honest. If you trying to get around then, you are dishonest and don't deserve whatever pay they are giving you. Do the general workforce a favor and quit your job so someone worthy can have it. I am sure the local McDonalds will take you. This is what is wrong with our country...so many idiots trying so hard to figure out ways to get around the system that they don't realize how sweet life is when you live within the system.

Weilong said...

Ok guys Ive read these comments and I'm laughing my head off. XP is so easy to get admin access, etc. Vista is extremely hard, if not impossible for a kid with little or no knowledge of how these computers function. The easiest way is to download something like John The Ripper or L0phtCrack and use a Linux boot to get the SAM file from your System32/config folder and save it to a flash drive. Then you can use L0phtCrack to crack the password hash from the SAM file. Once the program finishes cracking the file it will tell you the username/password of every account on that computer. Just log in as an admin, go into the control panel and give your account admin rights. Hope I helped.

Anonymous said...

My comment is this. I agree with the guy who said some of you need to go back to school and concentrate on learning, because your spelling and grammar need help. Also, I have parental controls on my computer to not only keep my children from being able to go to websites and game sites they shouldn't be going to, but to keep them from showing up unsolicited. I don't need people like you telling them how to bypass them. Why would you do that? All these posts from these kids on here that are deceiving their parents are just pathetic.

justastic said...

Heres a question, what if someone used a bootable version of linux and deleted all the perental controls programs and executables.

The complete guide to bypassing parental control:

WARNING: This guide has been typed at 1:30 in the morning. Typos may gather in mass. Also, I am not responsible for your parents yelling at you, or your little brother reading this and totally destroying your computer. You've been warned.

Requirements: Online access in any way shape or form for at least ten minutes on a broadband connection.


Step one: Download a SMALL Linux distro (Google Puppy Linux or DamnSmallLinux).

Step two: Burn it to any media the locked PC can boot off of (Or make a USB stick. This process varies depending on the distro, and not all comptuers can boot off of USB)

Step three: Boot the distro, connect to the Internet and download OPHcrack.

Step four: Burn that, boot it, be patient.

Step five: Write down any admin passwords.

IF NONE ARE FOUND: download another rainbow table, use common sense. If you can't figure out where to put it or how to use it, you deserve to be locked down.

Step six: Log into the admin account

Step seven: click start, control panel, classic view (On the top left), parental controls.

Step eight: Go nuts, but don't change too much or your parents might catch on.

Step nine: Log into your account.

Step ten: Have fun.

A note to parents: There's only certain times parental control should be used. Only use it if your child doesn't understand how important it is to have a secure computer, is young (Under eight years old) or exactly twelve years old (Believe me..).

Parental control is meant to be a baby sitter while you're gone. It's great for kids who don't understand how important it is to be safe online, but for kids that are more mature, it's very important to keep it turned off (Or on, but just have it log them). The more you try to hold them back, the more they say "just watch me". If you really don't trust your kid and think they're watching adult videos, playing bloody games, have a homosexual relationship or anything like that then sit down and talk with them. Don't run from the problem, confront it and try to get on equal ground. It's not a problem to be homosexual, we're not addicted to dirty things and bloody games don't cause wars.

The only way to be a good parent is to be actively involved in your child's life. If you let an inanimate object do the babysitting, they're going to dislike you. They won't understand why you're restricting them, and if they do they'll just shove freedom in your face when they read this.

If you think your child's doing something "bad" (homosexuality, mature games, etc), talk about it. It's their decision, you can't control them forever and you'd rather have them cry at your funeral instead of saying "good riddence", right?

If you think they're doing something illegal (Like pirating, blackhat hacking, etc), put parental control on logging mode. To do this, just start it but don't add any restrictions. If you can find proof they're doing these things, talk to them. If they keep doing it, then block it. Try to find out why they're doing it. I know some pirates who do it because some features are locked in the demo version and they want to try them out before making a purchase. I know some blackhats who only hack when they need to, like when they accidentally send someone the wrong file or an email they shouldn't have.

If you think your child has a bad addiction, again, start with logging, Check to make sure they're spending too much time on the subject, and TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT! They might be doing it because they need to distract themself from something going on in school, something their brother or sister is doing, or something you said a year ago (You'd be amazed how much one word can do to us far down the road). If they really can't get over it, then try to ween them off of it. Try to make a plan, but DON'T limit their access. Keep logging and talking. If you block them, very bad things WILL happen. You need to teach them responsibility, and putting barriers around them isn't the way to do it.

Keep in mind, timing means a lot. Don't try to snap them out of an addiction to gore if they're currently shooting someone's head off. Wait until they're just finishing dinner and wash the dishes with them or something. It makes a much larger impact.

A note to kids: Don't be afraid to talk to your parents. Sometimes they block you for no reason, in which case you should talk with them. If they keep blocking you and don't give you any good reasons, then follow the directions above at your own risk. Those kinds of parents can be very unpredictable. I honestly feel sorry for you if you have one or two of those. The pain's unbearable.

If they do have good reasons (Or for that matter, *any* reason), then try to settle with them. Most of the time they're just worried about losing Little Johnny to the wonders of the New World and big boy undies. A few reassuring words could mean all the difference.

Timing means a lot here, too. You know your parents a lot better than I do, so you should choose when to talk. I woke my dad up at three in the morning when I realized I needed help, and everything turned out okay. For some people, that might be a good idea. For others, that might just make him angry.



Well, it took me 25 minuets to write this, and another eight to proof-read. As such, I'm tired. Goodnight!

So I'm 14, and I've had parental controls on for over a year. They suck. They're ridiculous.

I learned how to bypass YouTube. If you click on a link that leads to one of YouTube's pages and parental controls blocks it, type in 'kr.' without the quotes.
ex. www.youtube.com/channel/user is blocked. Backspace 'www.' and replace it with 'kr.' Also, 'jp.' will work. ;] Happy hunting.

Nofew said...

The preceding comment is risky. There's many web prefixes, such as www., news, www2, secure and so on. Replacing it with kr or jp may open the browser up to receiving malicious data due to handling protocols differently. Also, smart parents will block "youtube.com" instead of "www.youtube.com", thus preventing that method from working.

Technophobic translation: Don't do what the guy above me said. You could get hacked.

also if your a parent trying to say that we can get things earned for being trust worthy just stop, don't even start with the whole trust and bullshit i went here to see how easy Microsoft did on parental controls not to read about being a "Goodie two shoes". we are here to discuss hacking basically, i have had some expereance with vista parental controls and found some holes.
also i have hacked my school district's computer system with success (though got suspended for it) it really piss me off when we are to the age of being responsible for our selves and mommy and daddy have to put logs and restrictions on there kids the more logs and restrictions people put on me the more i say "just watch me" so shut up parents; unless its about hacking your school or windows parental controls im sorry if im being mean.

Were Here to Hack and Im Here to Help the Best I Can

Parental Controls is just a sign of a bad parenting job... The only reason my parents come up with, for putting the parental conrtol restrictions on my computer is "because I said so". Im having a problem with using a java based game, its been restricted on my CP, obviously proxies dont work for java based games, anyone have any ideas that will help me out? It would be much appreciated. Im not to savy with computer language, so if theres a simple way of phrasing it to a not so tech-savy person, that would be great. (By the why the parental controls unit put on my CP, which is a HP Pavilion (Windows Vista), is Webroot Parental Controls, which was set up by a member of the "Geek Squad") so if any of you know a way to bypass that certain system for a java based game, it would be great. (By the way, for all the hater parents out there, I am rescourcefull of my time, spend time with friends, family, and make straight A's in school, once yu get a certain age kids/teens should be able to manage their time on their own. So if you dont have a good reason as Parent to set restrictions, don't, and "Because I said so", isnt a good reason. For those type of parents I recomend the book for "Parenting for Dummies" you should try it out maybe it'll help.

Thanks in advance, I'll be checking site for replies for any of those who ca help me with my current situation.

a question for anyone brave enough to answer it...

if your parents set up a filter/time limit/application restrictions, why do you want to hack them? *might* it be a good thing that your parents don't want you to watch porn videos and waste your life away on your stupid computer?

hmmmm... just wondering...




welllllllll i'm not saying blocking the harmful stuff is wrong but when there are things like maybe fanfiction then out of nowhere google itself is blocked something needs to be done.

ANywho can someone explain again like step by step so i dont screw something up? like if you go to safemode in Vista one of the admins wont have a pass? and you can get in?
