How to remove enterprise enrollment on Chromebook without developer mode?

I am newbie to this whole operating system thing.

I have a HP-Chromebook-G3 and everytime I start it up, it asks me for Enterprise enrollment. The options are "enroll", "delete" or "keep". If I select "enroll", then the browser opens up and asks for a username and password.

I am sure there is no way to avoid this, but I am wondering if there is any option to disable this when I first boot up my HP-Chromebook-G3

From your Google account you can revoke the Enterprise Enrollment Program at any time. To do that, in Chrome: Click the Chrome menu icon (it's on the right side of the browser window), then select Settings. Under the "Personal Stuff" section, click "Manage Enterprise enrollment" (or wherever that's located). Revoke access to the Enterprise enrollment program.

How do I remove the school administrator from my Chromebook?

You may remove an administrator from your Chromebook.

In order to remove the administrator, you'll need to have the administrator's username and password, and access to the account's settings. We recommend that you back up your school data before removing the administrator. You can do this in your device's recovery mode or in the School Manager settings.

Once the administrator has been removed, you can then change the user that will be your administrative user. If you no longer wish to remove the administrator, you can change the administrator at any time by going to Settings and clicking Users. If you do not want to remove the administrator, click Remove and confirm the message that the administrator will be removed from the device. If you do not want to remove the administrator, simply keep the administrator in your user list.

Can you jailbreak a Lenovo Chromebook?

(or any non-iPhone or iPad)

It seems like just a week or two ago that were all trying to understand whether you could jailbreak a smartphone or tablet. As of now, the only devices that can be jailbroken on a legal level are iPhones and iPads and I'm assuming the same applies to MacBooks and Macbooks as well. The Lenovo Chromebook has been available for some time now and seems like it would be an ideal device to jailbreak. How does the process work? Is it possible? How do you know if your Chromebook is jailbroken?

I had heard about this at a hacker event earlier this year and the idea sounded interesting enough to research. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I'm amazed at how many resources there are that make it seem like it's no big deal. There's a lot of chatter about how the Windows 8/Chromebook dual booting might let us do something that we haven't been able to do before. Maybe it's a combination of people just getting really excited about what they think will be possible and what may not even be possible for Windows 8 on a Chromebook.

For those that are familiar with how Android works, it's very similar to iOS in a way. Just like Android devices (except for tablets) don't require root access to modify things such as the boot process, neither does Windows 8 require root access to update. In my research, it's very clear that Lenovo Chromebooks and Windows 8 laptops cannot be rooted nor can they be forced into the Android mode.

If you want to look at a more complete guide, check out the link below: There's nothing stopping you from booting a USB Linux distribution onto a Chromebook. However, most will tell you that it's not meant to be used as your primary OS. When you switch the operating system to Ubuntu or another Linux distribution, you can then install a package called MultiROM which allows you to swap between various Android and iOS devices and also allow you to install Linux distros as well. (Which, honestly, seems like a great idea.
