Account on Academic Database

I recently went to hack someone's academic files, but I found an oddity. When I got to the password screen, I used Dictionary Hacker to hack to password. Unfortunately, it gave me the same password as the last time I had hacked it, so it was invalid. After this I used Password Breaker to get the password. After I finished the mission and replied to it, I got a message saying it was not complete. I figured I must have typed in the wrong place. I went back to the database, and found that I was able to have readwrite permission with the last password I had used. This allowed me to edit the profile without a trace. Is this a bug?

1. i dont understand why they think it is incomplete. What does it tell you to do?
2. Using the readwrite account does not put a trace on you, assuming you use bypassers. and no, it is not a bug

They just asked me to add an IEEE Accreditation.
I wasn't using any bypassers. All I had was Password Breaker, Dictionary Hacker, Trace Tracker v 4.0, and Log Deleter, along with the starting stuff.

Type "IEEE Accreditation" in the "Other Qualifications" box, hit commit, and then done.

By the way, do not use the Dictionary Hacker, it is a waste of time

I completed the mission my second time, but why did I get an account.

Often, when you hack accounts lower than admin, you'll keep the account for a little while, since they won't notice you hacked it. This usually arises either when you use a monitor bypass and hack, or if you just get out in time. In fact, if you are very fast, then you can often keep your admin accounts at places. I've kept admins at most Internal Systems, the Social Security Database, Global Criminal Database, the Academic Database, and Uplink's ISS server 😉
