I think this is where your problem lies. Obviously you are aware that there are restrictions, as students doing work need to have the work verified by management.
I'm not sure why you felt that you did not need to ask permission.
Management has confiscated an unauthorized device that you connected to their property. It sounds like they will give it back as soon as they have verified that you've not taken company intellectual property.
The next question, then, is what damages have you suffered?
What is it that you want, precisely?
