Open up autoexec.bat into notepad and edit the fortress line, save and reboot. Another thing, your school is retarded to keep using that software. We just got rid of novell and switched to Active Directory, and the roll over was so much easier and it's a lot cheaper running it too. The security with active directory is amazing, you can go into every detail with it(disabling right click, display properties, etc) So if I were you, I'd go to the school a suggest the idea. Maybe you will land yourself a job.
*shrug* fortress wasnt my idea, but was the first to go when I assumed the security of these systems. Not that it matters but the next lockdown was all NT based.
that with the physical security solved the problem.

But all this is off topic. the topic here was taking down fortress, how to.
Dont belong in a security site - as stated earlier not a vuln or warning, just a look what I can do and how I do it...
