The mention of computer lab reminds me of a story. This wasn't a hack or
anything, but one day a classmate asked me how to spell banana... while
he's at the login screen. So, derp.. next time I'm in there I log in as
him with that password, and it works. I decided to play a trick on him
and rename Paint to Write and Write to Calculator, things like that. He
was pretty confused when he finally logged in and had to ask the lab
person for help. They were also confused :). "I'm clicking on Write but
it's opening Paint." They didn't pay attention to the icons.
