Well, it's everyone's PC. Yanking the cable and such has been tried and didn't work. The woman has attempted to lay down some rules, but the girl just doesn't listen. She gets up at odd hours to get online usually when the rest of the family is sleeping. And while it's true she could just unplug it and take the cord with her, it's not fair to the rest of the family. Her husband has to get on it for work, she gets on it for the news and her other granddaughter, who behaves herself, gets on it for school stuff.
Edit: Missed MikeSty's post... It's DSL so she does dial in, but it doesn't ask for a username/password at all unless it's been reset. Like I said, the modem is really a cheap ass router and stores the information unless you reset it and let it default.
