Yes, but from what I can tell from my limited knowledge of mac it has 3 accounts on it. Student, Teacher and the Tech service (admin) account. All have different passcodes. I have tried the apple + s key but that will not work. I tried to switch OS but that doesnt work with out the admin code. A friend told me to try booting and hold the option key but when done found the firmware was locked by password also.

The internet is set to the schools information and their connections. I tried to connect to one of the wireless in the area and it sent me to the wizzard but with out the admin password I was blocked.

I was able to dl tech tools deluxe but it was on a PC and I am not sure how to copy to a CD due to my PC not recognizing a .dmg file.

I checked the apple site and it is not under a care plan and all I could find out is it was last used in 2001.

If there is any help or advise you can give I would appreciate it greatly.

My other option at this time is to pay more than I gave to fix it.
