    Im 20 and recently moved home after christmas.When using the family computer I found ther was a parental lock on many of the sites that I wanted to look up which is fair enough cz I have an 11 yr old brother but I was wondering is there any way to get around this so I can surf wat I like?

    Ask your parents for the password?

    Has your account administrator privelages?

    If so you might be able to just terminate the process

    His house, his rules...

    Might be an idea to get a cheap computer of your own and network it up.

    I'll take a wild guess here.
    Your 11 year old brother knows more about punctuation than you do ?

    Adults don't use txt speak.

    "Dad, I want to go on <insert non-porn site here> but this parental lock is blocking me, what's the password for it?"

    How old are you really, OP?

    Format c:

    Just ask for the password, buy your own PC, use a live CD or browse porn at work :)
