If you have access to the computer through the teachers account, all you have to do is throw out the multiple users control panel, multiple users extension and the prefrences, once you restart the multiple users are deactivated.

Hi there,
Congratulations on your new computer! What you need to do is reinstall the operating system, after wiping the computer:

1. Turn the Mac on and insert the restoration disk that came with it (If you don't have one then you'll need to get one, try ebay or amazon, or an Apple store).
2. Turn the Mac off with the disk still in
3. Re-boot it, holding down the C key. This will boot up from the CD, and hopefully you'll be able to re-install Mac OS X, which will give you a working, clean machine.

Apple has a guide on resetting the administrator password here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.4/en/mh655.html This one is for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) but the method is the same for newer versions. In older versions the only difference is that the reset password option mentioned in step 3 is located in the installer menu instead of the utilities menu.
