Clarify in community standards...

... that the "No bypassing security restrictions" rule applies even if people are trying to gain access to their own equipment.

 

I think it is fairly clear why this is a thing (how can we be sure that they are telling the truth about it being their own equipment) but considering how often threads get locked for it, I think it would make sense for it to be explicitly stated in the community standards like this (see my underlined addition):

 

• Discussion on engaging in hacking or cracking is not allowed, including:
  • Bypassing security features (even if you own the device or data you are trying to access), restrictions, or filters (including parental filters, school restrictions, or workplace monitoring)
