Student wifi code logins

I've just started at uni in the UK, and the wifi at the accomodation I'm staying at is 5mbits default, with upgrades all the way up to 50mbits for £200 a year. You get given three codes when you move in, for three different devices, and if you get the upgrade then it wipes those codes and they give you three new ones. I've had the idea to find someone with the upgrade who has a code they don't plan on using, and pay them to use it login with to get the faster internet speeds, saving us both some money. Seeing as all lessons are online this year anyway, and the government is still charging us £20,000 a year for an obviously inferior experience, I don't feel too bad doing this sneaky plan.

 

The issue I'm encountering is I can't figure out how to get the wifi to "forget" my computer. I'm assuming it's based on something like a MAC address or an IP address or something, so I was just wondering if anyone here knew how these student wifi systems worked? It basically comes up with a webpage the first time I connected, I put in the code, and now it doesn't come up again, and I'm just trying to find a way of making it forget who I am so it prompts me for the code again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks
