  • my dad locked our satellite receiver down with a code when we were kids so we couldn’t watch anything but news channels and cspan and other crap we’d never watch when he and my mom weren’t home

    i found the manual for the receiver, which plainly noted the built-in master code, and charged my sister $5 for the code the next time she wanted to watch mtv

    and that was the end of dad locking down the satellite receiver

    i also taught a friend about the cmos battery on his dad’s desktop computer. he turned the tables on his dad and BIOS locked him out of the computer.
    his dad never did figure out how his son managed to become a “hacker” over night.
