I became the help desk. It seemed like an elevated status but in reality it meant I got some of the drudgery piled on to me. Password changes, adding students,
disk quota increases and such.

Why would someone that could boot a system from floppy have to "format the hard drive" instead of just setting a new password?

The instructor had the only admin account and I had changed the password to his account; he was locked out.
He busted me by booting up the system from floppy and typed in the commend to format the hard drive and waited for me to return to the lab after school. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had no choice but to reinstall from scratch because someone changed the password. He then moved to hit the Enter key.
Not wanting my fellow students to lose their projects, I confessed. I logged him in and he changed the password.
He then gave my account admin privileges. I guess I had earned them.
