Parental control in Recovery Mode

So I ran various web filters on my home computers to protect my family from garbage who lives in the internet, but I came into a slight problem for those who have a little know-how that any filter service cannot compete with, the darned recovery mode! I read somewhere that you can activate somehow to apple parental controls work inside the recovery mode, say just allow etc support forums, but I scoured the web and can't find anything? Is there a way to get around this so some crafty children cannot sneak around blocks and filters and have at least some restrictions if they try that?

Parental controls does not work in recovery mode. You would have to block access to this mode by setting a password for the firmware.

  • Cancel the Parental control, because I'm the Parent: but not Administrator of my computer

    I myself blocked on my computer. I didn't know that Apple was the administrator of the computer, and I was a user. I turned on the 'enable parental control' to limit the spending of my adolescence, while using my apple ID. I didn't know I was putting controls on myself. I tried everything-

    (1) connected on Mac of my son tried to remote access, file sharing, etc. He is a Director on his computer, and we've even created a new user on his computer. Nothing has worked.

    (2) tried questions help and support, impossible to find a way around it.

    (3) I've changed my password, now I can't even shut down the computer.

    I can't believe that this happened to someone, somewhere, and it's so easy to do.

    Help, please! I tried everything-

    Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

    If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

    Step 1

    Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

    Step 2

    This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Step 3

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

    Select the user account

    and select

    Administrator (root)

    Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

    Select

     ▹ Reboot...

    in the menu bar.

    Step 4

    This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

     ▹ Disconnect...

    from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

    Step 5

    On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

    Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

    Allow the user to administer this computer

    You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

    Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

    Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

  • 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.)

  • "parental controls does not allow this game begins" without any restrictions applied

    I get the window ' parental control does not this game start "when I try to run a game and all settings are disabled.

    Hello helicopter-Guy,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

    I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue.

    ·         What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer?

    ·         Logged in as the administrator of the computer?

    ·         What game you try play?

    You get this error usually when parental control is set by the administrator for your user account.

    I suggest that you try to run the game as administrator and check, if you are able to play the game.

    Right-click on the game, click Run as administrator.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest that you install the game in Vista compatibility mode and check if you are able to play the game.

    See the link to run programs in compatibility mode: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
