Good afternoon All

I'm seeking advice, will explain the situation that I find myself in.

My stepson is 18 years old, he has completed the Zenos academy and passed well, gaining his Microsoft Qualifications etc.

He is extremely good when it comes to pc,laptop, mobiles etc, the problem I'm having in the home is that he constantly hacks my Wifes laptop, needs no passwords for anything she is registered to, Facebook her own email account are the main to things. Give you an example of what he can do, while in school a few years ago, well when he was 13 he hacked into the Hampshire system through the PC suite in his school, purely to change his screen saver, he had to make himself the administrator, it took the school over 6 months to find this out, obviously he was reprimanded for this and the police paid him a visit at home.

As Ive mentioned he is constantly hacking my wifes laptop etc etc, I have bought an Applemac as these are much harder to hack, so I'm told, my question to anyone out there who can give good sound advice is, How do I try and stop this happening, I also want to have control over our own internet of which he controls, with passwords etc, its driving me insane and grinding my wife down.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
 
well cheers for that, glad you have all given me a lesson in how to discipline a child, obviously this is the wrong place to get advice. like him this is full of morons, nice one
 
AJK, yeah thanks for your helpful advice NOT, first of all i asked a question, yes to most of you on here its funny and to be taken the P**S out of. Im not mr computer guru, if i believe me after the replies Ive got I definitely wouldn't be on here. I work overseas for a start and he does it all while I'm away, and as some of you keep saying my wife must keep logged on and he basically goes on, no he doesn't, he does most from his phone, yeah next will be some arse saying take his phone off him. discipline, like that is going to work, its been done and he doesn't give a Toss. oh and yeah smashing his face in rest advice there, you must have a masters in being an arse. oh and i didn't JUST buy a mac purely to stop him hacking it, so again cheers for your sarcastic comment.
 
no he's not a child, and yes once I'm back all his pc crap is going. and he bypasses the logging in side of life, he doesn't need a password, and yes i have posted in the wrong place. like I've just said, I'm no IT guru, i asked for advice not idiots like the stepson comments, he would say just as 80% of you lot have on here.
 
oh and he would love it yes. I'm not getting abusive either, i asked a question, is it to much to ask for then questions asked to me, rather than the torrid of abuse.
 
Ok skidder, and the rest who have posted, ok I was vague, but ask me a serious question with reference to my original post.

One more point which I didn't say, he was also sacked from his job where he was IT Administrator, oh and yes for looking at someones email he shouldn't have
 
AJK, im =telling you he does, he doesn't guess, he is very good when it comes to computers, and yes to good for his own good
 
well if he had half a brain he would use the skills he's got, but he doesn't, he is now signing on and doing much the same. and yes as pointed out he didn't hack as he had all the passwords, but still got sacked for it. his boss did all the security, asked him to try and hack it, took 10 mins and he had done it, he then asked him to try again a week later as he had done what ever he done with it and it took 30 mins and he had hacked through there security system
 
AJK I agree, and I have tried over the years but he just has no interest. Ive pointed out many times with regards to IT Security, but he says its boring and he would rather repair them, and discipline is hard when i work away so much, I'm not going to go into how he treats his mum, but it isn't good.
