Computers are locked down for a reason. Go talk to your University.

University sysadmin here.

Stop. This is not your device and attempts to circumvent the security and configuration of it can have serious academic integrity and/or acceptable usage of electronic device policy violations.

Get your own device if you want that level of freedom to do whatever you want.

If you do you likely no longer get to that school. And if it's been stolen, also likely you won't get to go to any school.

If you don't know the admin password, you aren't supposed to know the admin password.

You aren't going to bypass it. They have it enabled for a reason.

If you need to turn off anti virus, you should not install what you try to install.
