Reminds me of the times when at my school (2010) there was WLAN but only the teachers had the password. I was nagged by my schoolmates as the most proficient computer nerd and my IT teacher said that if I cracked the wifi password, I would get an A+ from IT classes for all three years.

Backtrack 4, Atom N270, some deauthenticated Windows XP and 13 hour long dictionary attack did NOT do the trick. But what I learned is mine.

Sounds like you might have wanted to try social engineering on the teachers instead? Humans are always the weakest link
