You're reading waaay into it. We used to do stupid stuff like this all the time. Kids who never had any interest in computers (and neither do today) used to pull pranks like this. It's just what kids do. Nothing else. Never in a million years can you stop kids from pulling pranks. Nobody in my school touched the teachers' computers though. A lot of us knew the passwords for many of their computers, but those were sacred. The "pranks" some of us pulled were way worse than what the kid in the article did though.
