Windows 10: New school network

I help out looking after the laptops a a local private school. Simple things like checking updates, and basic care which they otherwise wouldn't get. I usually bring them to my home and login to my own wifi. That's worked just fine until a server was installed at the school. Now with the laptops at home I am confronted with a different password login screen which obviously wont work as I am away from the school network. *Mad

Using Lazesoft on a boot usb stick, I could see the built in Administrator account was locked and disabled, so I freed that up only to find it was using a temporary profile. I then tried to create my own local Admin account (with administrator privileges) only to find that too was a temporary profile.

Any suggestions how to get round this impasse? Please keep it simple as you probably have figured out I don't have much of a clue.

School's mapped network


ive been trying to connect to my school's network remotely from home. My classmate's don't seem to be having an issue.

first step is to use Pulse Secure to connect to my shcool's VPN and this is successfuly
using windows "Mapped Networks and Drives" i assign a drive letter and type \\files.al-lab.csus.edu\Groups as instructed. and then i check “Connect using different credentials” like also instructed.

the instructions stress that you must type .\ before your username (i have tried with and without)

but i always get incorrect password

i have also tried the USE NET command with the same results

the username and password is, in fact, correct because it is the same credentials i use to connect with Pulse Secure and the web-based/in browser version of the network

ive also tried refreshing DNS and resetting winsock
