i was wondering whats the best way to go about changing my HWID?
If by HWID you mean your MAC address, then spoofing MACs has ben around for a long time. Its dead simple to do in Linux; bring your network offline, type:
ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
(where 00:00:00:00:00:01 is your new desired MAC)
and bring your network back up (i.e. "ifconfig eth0 up" ).
There are also ways of spoofings MACs in Windows, though I wouldn't know how directly; see
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac or google spoofing MAC address in Windows.
I have spoofed my MAC on several occasions, to fool cranky license managers that decided not to allow my legitimately purchased software to run because they couldn't find the license servers onthe network.
Ultimately its best to look at the cause of why your MAC was banned, rather than trying to get around it with tricks that you are obviously not experienced with.
