I got busted in college for using net send (did you use the net command to change the admin password?) to prank other computer users into shutting down their own computers. I got off with a warning too, but I was angry that I got caught because I just made a simple mistake.

Out of curiosity, would you log out of your own account, then into the admin account right after, or vice versa? If so, it's as simple as looking at the access logs to see that one person was always logging into the same machine right before or after the fake admin account.

a few people knew about the hacked accounts, perhaps word spread until somebody reported it. This is what i think happened, otherwise i would have been caught much sooner.

Although there might be some validity to the evidence at hand, I'm inclined to believe that the accounts were all they really had. I can't fathom what you would be so naive to leave behind to get caught... unless you left browser history that traced you back to social networking spots... which then thats all they would need.

Next time I would recommend never doing the such... unless you know how to access the logs and delete them. My guess is that they pulled security camera with date and times of when you were using the facility... at the same times the accounts were created / software installed. I.E... those pesky server activity logs. Blasphemy!

No big deal my friend.... keep on trucking. ;) Love yah man!
