Hi, Jonathan, 

Thanks for making your report posting to the blog!  (BTW, I've switched the listed authorship to your jtm2292 account -- it looks like you were logged in as nsp when posting.)

And thanks for all your interest and efficiency at the school.  The technology infrastructure and opportunities there are already benefitting from your attention.  

There are a number of ways of handling a computer where the standard techco passwords don't work.  Next time we are both at Harte, please show me the computer in question and I will show you some of these.  Just to name them for the curious -- (1) type more slowly (ha!) -- (2) Norwegian CD -- (3) flash drive transfer of Norwegian CD -- (4) INSTR login for username in GG-Tech-Schoolname group [only at some schools, not including Harte] -- (5) INSTR "dibbles" login -- (6) this-computer "architect" login.    -- (6) call CPS helpdesk.

It's a great idea to make some sort of spreadsheet or document to serve as lightweight inventory record for the school computers.  Be aware there is a very official inventory of all school assets including computing equipment.  It's basically only accessible to the school administrators, needs to be verified to physical inventory each year, contains lots of non-tech-relevant info (like finance details), and so on.  These are thus not much use for our tech purposes.  But I bring it up to highlight that a separate one you set up need not answer to any of those other purposes, and can be just what you see is needed to record since it will be proposed as a tech tool, not a full-scale official inventory.

So I suggest you talk it over with Ms. Glover first, and be clear about developing this as a tool for her and us to use in tracking computer status (like RAM) and not something in conflict with the official asset list.  Then maybe start a cloud document you can share with Ms. Glover and me, for instance a spreadsheet at docs.google.com .  

Thanks again,
