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:
missnocyber@hotmail.com
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.
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!!!
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.
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???
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
Help!!!!!!!! what do i do my dad gave me a laptop, and i have parental controls set on the highest setting, and my dad was to stupid to make a admin, so when it asks me to put the admin password in the password box, the password box doesnt work!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
computer kid. my dad has the admin account and i want to run programs that he wouldnt approve of. every time i want to run a program a box appears asking for my dads password. is there any thing i can do to bypass this? my email is brett_fuchs@yahoo.com
umm what if the parental controls dont allow you to download any thing
dont you think u would be totaly screwed
ummm. no i am allowed to do everything on the computer accept run programs and install stuff.
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.
Thank you, but i tried that and it said error 5 access is denied and i still cant run programs. could you please help?
i recieve the same error 5 because i cannot run as administrator, so what do i do am trying to put starcraft on my laptop but my older brother is a pranoid freak n has it locked so i cant n he is too much of a homo to remove this retarded admin shit
any help would be greatly appreciated
thomasmcmanus23@yahoo.com
I have every thing unblocked on this vista except for run as admin, is there something i could do useing notepad or legal cmd?
"Help!!!!!!!! what do i do my dad gave me a laptop, and i have parental controls set on the highest setting, and my dad was to stupid to make a admin, so when it asks me to put the admin password in the password box, the password box doesnt work!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
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!
yeah i've gotten access befor too, but i need a way, to crash into it and then coverup. anyone that can help write an internal exploit to crash parental controls?
Matthewskidmore_7@msn.com
hey i got a laptop for graduation and my fag parents parental controled it can you help me
iam 18 and this is B.S!! my email is gunmanc08@yahoo.com PLEASE HELP!!!
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...)
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
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...
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!!
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.
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
Thanks
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.

You are a genius!!! It works :D I love you(No homo)
im a techie sort of guy i hacked the Vancouver school district, i know windows inside and out but i have never had such a problem with parental controls, i had to use universal extractor to install firefox just so every time i go to myspace i dont get the stupid prompt at the top of IE if someone could tell me how to bypass it with out a bootable or admin password guessing that would be great, email me at justasic@gmail.com
guys just go on www.slaphappy.com
lol omg
is this the best this generation can come up with? You guys are truly way behind us generation X'ers. It isn' hard to lock a computer down to the point where a hacker wannabe will be totally powerless.
btw Justastic if you really hacked a school district you wouldn't be asking such a noob question here ;).
btw if your parents lock your punk A$$es down it is probably for a good reason.
What is your computer isn't allowed to download or install, has a set time to turn off and a certain time to be able to turn back on, how do I get around all those?
i know im asking such a stupid question i just wanted to see if anyone else was going further than i am; i found some software that hacks win xp and im trying to find out if it works with vista the website is here "http://www.d--b.webpark.pl/dreampackpl_en.htm" if anyone wanted to hack into an xp machine.
My mom used to have AOL so I have parental control, but now we switched to DSL. even if they put like parental control on mine. I can just reinstall Windows and start over.
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.
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.
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.)
Thanks guys,
I've got a new foster kid coming soon, and now I'll just tell him that you're the reason there's no computer at all for him in the house! Thanks again, you've been a great help... An Old Guy.
look i can do everything except download... im a standard user with absoultly no way of getting any admin tinme... my email is neil.goel@hotmail.com... HELP ME!!
how can i install things if i am a limited user? please help!
my e-mail is philgocontact@googlemail.com
Thanks
Phil
Phil, you need to boot a different OS using a disk. There are some OS's that can boot from a disk without the need to install.

does anyone know why vista password protects against mmos like megaten and all the aeria games? if theres a way around it please let me know!!
Hi guys,
I got administarve access so i changed myself to an administartor and the old administatr to a limited but i will getcaught is there a way i can make myself look like an limited and my parents an administaator I could give them back admin but they will see me as admin please i need help!!!
Dude above me (if I'm at the bottom) can you tell me how you got administrative access, if you did through a restricted account or if you bypassed the admin, that is. please email me: maddy.sdc@gmail.com
to maddy.sdc@gmail.com, i have the same question as the person above me.
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! :)
Your parents ought to just disallow your asses from being on the CPU. Fix that. It's definitely a privilege and some of you brats have life fucked up.
yeah, get off my "CPU" you bratty kids. lol at least he didn't call it a hard drive like some of my users.
Hey thanks guys,
I booted linux from a DVD and its awesome. Now i can watch all my favorite porn without anyone knowing about it. I reccomend pornhub.com guys
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.
parental controls ftl oh and to all the gay parents fuck you... i don't wanna watch fuckin porn but wtf y the fuck does vista block EVERYTHING? i cant use youtube? fuck that..... its not a priviledge your dumbass birthed the kid into the fuckin world if you werent gonna let em have a lil fun you shoulda thought about birth control cause if i dont get atleast 4 hours on a computer once a week im runnin away jail is bttr then that shit
If you want to bypass VISTA INTERNET BLOCK, type int the address bar "https://proxy.org", and choose secure tunnel from the list. Make sure to type HTTPS:// and not HTTP://
Also, if you can get a hold of puppy linux, it doesn't affect your computer at all.
It's realyy hilarious to see some of the comments on here.....As a genX'r, I vividly remember having similar BS with my parents/elders.....and now we Genx'rs have become said parents/elders giving the next generation the same excat BS all over again.....and guess what.....in another 10 yrs or more/less....these GenY'rs will be doing the same EXACT thing to their little GenZ'rz. Inevitable !
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...
Accuse them of child molestation.
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.
heey just a thought here...
couldnt you use,
notepad, and type
@echo off
start
and then type :
sc config WPCSvc start= disabled
and wouldnt that disable the security, or like one person said, couldnt some one, replace the perental control's EXE with a command promp exe ?
wtf!! why can't nobody find how to get through this stupid bullshit?? See The only way we can bypass this shit is if we actually get in the admin account and for some people ((THATS IMPOSSIBLE)) so think of a better way yall!! Use yall big ass brains & brainstorm of how we can bypass this shit ok?? oh and All i want to do is get on myspace and youtube and Idc about the rest!
If I Was You I would use rescorce hacker: it only needs Basic rights and you can wup parental controls on to your side, just google it and then it will come up, then just download it and open the app that you want to change don't forget, this application is not to be used to hack other computers; this program is for changing apps of your own purchase
I put Parental Controls on my Parents besides it's called PARENTAL CONTROLS anyways. LOL
TO ALL YOU PARENTS OUT THERE!!!!
HOW ABOUT U GET UR FAT ASSES OFF THE FUCKING COUCH AND DO SOME FUCKING PARENTING GOD DAMN IT
IS IT REALLY THAT FUCKING HARD THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PROGRAM DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU GOD FORBID YOU ACTUALLY PARENT YOUR KID
BUT OH WAIT THATS TOO MUCH FUCKING WORK FOR ALL OF YOU ISNT IT. WELL IF ITS TOO FUCKING HARD TO PARENT THEN YOUR IN A BUM FUCK POSITION ARENT YOU AND ALSO I AGREE WITH MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO DID MESSAGES LIKE THIS BEFORE ME
DONT GIVE US ALL THAT BIAST BULLSHIT ABOUT HOW ALL US TEENAGERS ARE PORN ADDICTS OK SOME OF US ARE TIRED OF THIS FUCKING PARENTAL-CONTROL-NAZI BULLSHIT BLOCKING SIMPLE THINGS
SO TO ALL YOU PARENTS DONT LET A PROGRAM PARENT FOR YOU THATS YOUR FUCKING JOB!
