Haha I did the same thing, I got a computer from my dad and as soon as it arrived I made myself the administrator and locked it.

my dad actually did the EXACT same thing. i feel for you.

I'm with everyone who says to install Linux to a USB drive. Do it.

#90, really? Kids know WAY more about computers today than their parents do (sometimes 12-year-olds included), and if anyone's going to **** up a computer, it's probably the parents. I see it happen all the time, the parent goes to do something on the computer that the kid warns them against, and they get a huge virus, yet the parent still blames the kid. My mom forced me to download Symantec anti-virus and firewall software on my Macbook Pro when I first got it, even though I told her it already had protection included. FORCED as in, she stayed by my side not letting me go anywhere and yelled at me constantly until I did what she wanted, like her typical psychotic, totalitarian self. The downloads cost $110 dollars. I was new to the Apple layout, and later found the proof I needed: the Symantec program statuses in the dock. I made sure to rub it in her face. The arrogance of parents and our society that deems them infallible is probably what you're seeing in your daily job, not child stupidity. Either that or a six-year-old crawling on a computer and clicking on the pretty pop-ups that show up, not a teenager.

Are you twelve years old?

1. Get a friend to download the Windows 7 Beta for you on a burnt DVD. 2. Create a new partition big enough to install Win 7 3. Keep the default OS as the auto-loading one, and password protect your "hidden" Win 7 account. 4. ??? 5. Profit!!!

That's pretty sad on your dad's part. That's overly controlling at any age. Why get someone a computer if you're going to be the one controlling it? A family computer makes more sense since it's not for anyone's personal usage. In short, your dad's a nutbar.
