First, stuff like netmessages (I can’t remember the name, a native Windows dialogue would pop up with the message), once or twice a NetBIOS exploit where a specific message would blue screen a computer.
Later (9th grade?) I’d see my teacher type a password (DLhiR, which we then figured out stands for "Der Lehrer hier im Raum", "The teacher here in the room") in the username field, so first me and my best friend had full access, but soon the teachers found out, promised us not to tell anyone else (including the admin who would not okay this), and used us whenever anything needed to be done.
Later, we both took computer science (kinda … not really.) in year 12, which gave us the admin password slightly more powerful than the teacher account (IIRC it had more domain powers or something, this was all long ago), and it mostly involved us fixing and administering the school’s computers.
Turns out messing with computers is not much fun when you have full access to everything anyway.
This is how schools should always handle computer 'misuse'
Helps when the teachers like you ;)
