I have decided that even though all of you are helpful, none of you will actually help me, also it wont feel "100% me" so i will not be allowing anyone to contact the admin on my behalf, thanks for your good will !

Dan, you missing one point, we are not going to crack or mess with your school network in anyway.

You answered your own question; " none of you will actually help me, also it wont feel "100% me" so i will not be allowing anyone to contact the admin on my behalf, thanks for your good will ! "

But we have contacted them and tomorrow we will have the answer

Well i suppose i did !

One last thing would i need to get any "protection" say i DID "hack" the network, there is no evidence my admin challenged me, can he just boot me out the school claiming he "never said anything" ?

Thanks

p.s This is on the off chance i do stumble upon a hack !

Politely yes, your request is illegal, your answers defy intelligence and the original request is denied, we can't help you.
