Hi, I belong to a very restrictive school. I want to go into developer mode to disable goguardian. I cant just go into a different google account as they have blocked that as well(even in the browser). I also can't get any apps/extensions, or go into developer mode by using esc+refresh+power, then ctrl+d. Any suggestions?

If it's the school's Chromebook, they own it and control every aspect of it. Get your own Chromebook and do what you want.

If it's your own Chromebook, but you've signed in with a school-managed account, the school has taken over your entire Chromebook. Yes, they can do that, since it's the only way to manage the account without the account being exposed to hacking from another account. You can get your Chromebook back by restoring your Chromebook, or if they have that blocked, recovering your Chromebook from a power-off state, signing in with your personal account, and then NOT ever using the school account on your Chromebook.

Managed Chromebooks, and personal Chromebooks which have signed in to a managed account, are no longer in your control, and there is no way to bypass the management.

it is an unfortunate situation you've found yourself in.  if you can figure out how to break the CrOS security and report it to us, we often give out bounties which you could use to buy a 2nd chromebook :).

Hi, MissionTrouble. Make sure you also click CTRL + D after it says OS Verification is off. Reply if it still doesn't work.
