This is what I see.

At the bottom it says to contact the IT support on the school to have them help me unlock it, but like I said it's on the other side of the country.

If you could get around the antitheft lock with this one weird trick, it wouldn't be much of an antitheft lock, would it, Jamal.

Do the right thing, phone the school, and offer to ship it back to them if they pay shipping. Even though you gave a guy some money, it's still theirs, not yours.

Normally I would suggest just running a linux distro and gaining access by [spoiler]fucking[/spoiler] around w/ the registry, but I know [spoiler]jackshit[/spoiler] about chromebooks.
I only found this;
Edit the GRUB kernel Boot and add "single" and "init=(slash)bin(slash)bash" without quotes at the end, after it booted into a the shell mode just write "passwd" without quotes and change the root password

Usually passwords are stored in (slash)etc(slash)passwd, (slash)etc(slash)shadow

Chrome OS seems like a [spoiler]sumbitch[/spoiler], I would just backup your files, format your HD and reinstall OS

You can't mess with the kernel command-line on a Chromebook, because there's a chain of trust all the way from the 1BL.

The whole point of Chromebooks is that it's impossible for them to boot anything but a Google-approved and Google-signed OS image; if your brilliant plan involves "mess with the OS image" or "mess with the bootloader", it's not going to work.

This starts at the BIOS level?

If so, just fly to Austria, steal security certificates, re-flash BIOS.

It'd be a pretty shit secure boot if it didn't.
