Child can bypass parental controls filter time.

My mother bought a laptop for my little brother and asked me to install the parental control for him. I activated the filter of time. However, to our surprise, my brother found a way to bypass the filter and connect to the standard user account. This is how he makes:

1. turn on the computer.
2 force a closed hard (by pressing the Power button for a few seconds or remove the AC adapter and the battery). He repeated this step until he gets the option launch system recovery after startup.
3. perform a system recovery.
4. when the computer restarts after the system recovery, there immediately connects to his account. (If it does not connect inside seconds, Family Safety let him do this.)
It's amazing how smart kids can be on computers. He found this derivation because he chose the "recommended" system recovery I would not be a figure that out myself.
Any suggestion on how to prevent this?
Thank you!

Hi R01k,

Unfortunately, it is one of the limits of parental control. Currently, we are unable to provide assistance on this matter. You can suggest that your comments to Microsoft who considers suggestions for future versions. https://feedback.live.com

For now, we recommend that you create another thread on the Windows 7 forum and ask for another suggestion about how to avoid that from happening.

Here is the link where you can post your query about recovery of the system.

  • Parental control: disconnection time does not

    I recently created my kids computer with parental control, with the goal being to their ability to use the computer when I'm not around.  Overall, the controls seem to work fine (we have Windows 7 starter edition) except when their time has passed.  For example, I have a child allowed to 5-6 and the other 6 - 7.  6 the system is automatically hitting the first child, but it isn't really their disconnection.  So when the next kid goes to log on to the computer says that another user is currently connected.  Kid, you can't not reconnect to disconnected and kid 2 is unable to open a session.  The only way around it is to me as an administrator to log myself, which then automatically stops kid 1 on.  So I have to close the session back and then kid 2 can connect.

    This isn't a system that works if I'm not in the House, of course.  Is there a way to make it 1) give kid 1 a warning 5 min. so that it knows to disconnect and to complete what she done, instead of just turn off suddenly?  It could be disastrous, of course, if a document is under development and the computer just starts without warning.     (2) actually do disconnect kid 1 before returning to the login screen?

  • How can my child get around the parental control of Microsoft?

    I don't know how she does it.  It becomes by absolutely everything and visit Web sites that she shouldn't be able to.  She has a list of permissions.  I know she's on her cell phone and there are days when family safety said that there has been no activity.

    In addition, she has been able to download applications or software.  It's scary for me.  She was able to see the screen of others of his laptop computer.  What is c? Can you block apps like this to be downloaded?

  • Parental control: I am the admin of the computer and the computer won't let me access the list allow and block my child's account

    I am the administrator of the computer and the computer won't let me access the list allow and block my child's account.  I'll bring my parental control password, click on my childs account, put parental controls, go to web filter and click on block some web sites, click on edit the allow and block list and the computer tells me that it is not able to make changes to parental controls settings and see the system administrator if the problem persists.

    Hi Ranw,

    ·        What is the error message when you try to change parental controls?

    ·        Have you been able to make any changes on this computer from your account earlier?

    You can follow the steps below and check if you can make changes to the parental controls on your computer.

    Step 1:

    Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result. Access the link below and follow the steps to disable UAC.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off

    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

     

    Step 2:

    I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.

    Create a user account:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account

    Check out the link below to check if the parental control is properly set:

  • Can I set parental controls on firefox for a specific user only?

    I use windows 7 and firefox 18.0.2. On my PC, I have my Admin account and my account of children. Now they arrive at an age that they are requiring Internet access for projects and so on, I wonder if I can put parental controls on firefox (by add-on?) as I have on windows, while master's log in to their account, firefox only allows access to what I received. In other words, limit the use of internet ONLY for their account, while I'll still be able to use firefox without restriction. I don't want to use another browser that I ' m not as familiar with just so I can put a parental control over everything on this browser. Any ideas?

    It did the trick. You can restrict any program or browser to their liking. Although I do not have someone else (Microsoft...) do it for me, it works as should be for now. Thank you for your time!

  • Parental control blocks WMA format audio playback of the site on the list of allowed sites

    I use Windows Vista Home Edition basic pm a Compaq desktop computer. I've set up parental controls for the user account of my son. Under parental controls, I've marked ', apply the current settings,' ' we vires infromation on the use of the activity, ' no time limit are marked, games is marked not for theirs does not, all programs are allowed - none is marked to the block, and web restrictions are marked Allow list only. When he goes to his school site at home (which is on the list of allowed sites) and clicks on an audio conference that is WMA format it said of a box with Windows Media Player, along the top border and the message: Windows Media Player cannot perform the requested operation because the Parental control filter Web is turned on. To enable this action, ask your administrator to disable the web filter for your user account. Is it possible to get this set up so I don't have to temporarily turn off the parental control. Which kind of defeated the purpose controls, if I turn them off for this presentation, he will have free access to the Internet until I turn it back on. This means that I need to sit on it during the time that parental control is switched off! Not funny! I love being able to allow only the sites that I approved, if I could just allow him to hear the audio to WMA format that would be great. Any ideas?

    This is the problem of design, the session remains active in the background, however, so the next time they connect, they can pick up where they left off without losing any of their work.

    In case if you complete the program, there is no these settings in the parental control to close the program, you can disconnect the program using the Task Manager.

  • Set up parental controls for 1 child on two computers

    Here's the scenario that I have and I would like some help to determine if it is possible to what I want to do.

    My wife and I just bought two Surfaces, one of her and for me.  We have a son who we know that we will share our devices with.  It will probably use his more than mine.  It has a Microsoft Account because he has an Xbox Live account, thanks to our family of Xbox subscription.  I wanted to lock him on Surface machines using parental controls, but here is where I am currently.

    (1) I have set up Microsoft account my son on the Surface of my wife and indicated that it is on behalf of a child when I did.

    (2) I used my wife's account to configure all settings families on behalf of my son, such as the allocation of time, hosted the games and sites, etc..

    (3) I signed up for the family web site by using the account of my wife and could see everything.

    (4) I then created Microsoft has my son on my own Surface, also indicating that it is on behalf of a child when I did.

    But now I'm stuck.  I was really hoping that the same settings we had a machine would be then on the other account, but appears not to be the case.  I don't see his machine within the parameters of the family and she can't see mine.  When I try to add him to my family, he said "this person has already been added to the parental control.  So, it is a primary, and so I am.  Here are my questions:

    (1) how can I set where I am primary and my wife is a secondary antibody (or at least a parent who may approve things)?

    (2) will be the security settings, we have set up the synchronization of one single machine with the other somehow or we must manually preserve us allowed applications, etc all in harmony between the two machines manually?

    Hi Mike,.

    What I mean by my statement is that as long as the child is managed by a single parental control (for example you as the account parent principal, manipulation of the child), the settings on the Web site will be synchronized on all machines).

    Regarding your second question, it would be necessary on behalf of primary parent to have a user account for both computers. It would be better if you remove parental control on both machines first configuration so the settings would be better implemented according to the configuration you prefer.

    Thank you!
