   9 other moving it around and rebooting it at all times of the day.   
      
   If you can turn it on/off (whcih is in effect - rebooting it) then   
   you can probably do a factory reset on it and set whatever   
   password(s) you want. Fuck those other 9 people. You need internet   
   access more than them, amiright?
