    Last time I updated my operating system, it gave me the option of keeping my passwords or files.
    IE: I could keep the files but delete the passwords.

    Seems like a stupid option to me, as it would allow anyone to steal a computer and bypass any password protection except in the BIOS.
    So that's where your password protection is, right?

    We all know it's just a bunch of tildes, anyway.

      Er, um, sure. Try again. Yes, that’s it, error error error that’s the ticket! Reverse psychology, you’ve accurately hit exactly on the precise pattern, specific right down you’ve got it all wrong to the case-sensitivity. No way.

      *Randy D to the Security Office: “Security, this is Number One, have Shuhak escorted out of the building and completely off the premises. And find out how he knows so much about my password strategies! Grrrrrrrr.”

    Randy’s been trying to use strong passwords lately, which are a mixture of upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and symbols.  Try ~Pa55w0rd or ~Pa55w0rd~ if those first ones don’t work.

    Hmm, a strong password contains upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and symbols.  The last password you used was Password#4.  Please try again.  I’ll try Password#5.  That’s it, I’m in!
