It is by definition hacking.
Stupid doesn't negate unwanted nor illegal. I may be dumb and leave my door unlocked but you're still a criminal if you come in without permission and move stuff about.
It is more like someone immature sitting on the entrance outside the door and doing graffiti on the floor. Surely unwanted and definitely criminal, but inconsequential.
That's still hacking though boss petty and amusing but still hacking.
It is definitely not hacking as it doesn't need unauthorized access.
Read the cfaa and try again.
