More than you know. I work for a software developer, and install our product at a lot of places. I never setup passwords on our product while I'm there, I just show the users how to do it. You'd be amazed how many times when I go back to do some kind of support, and ask them for the password they created that it's actually "password."

That's conspiracy to violate the DMCA! Cease all activities at once and prepare to have your computer confiscated!

One of the funniest sigs I have ever seen was:

Of course my password is the same as my pet's name.
My macaw's name was Q47pY!3, but I change it every 90 days.

Probably a repost but what the hell.....

Take heart, anyone among you who believes you are technologically
challenged, you "ain't seen nuthin' yet." This is an excerpt from a "Wall
Street Journal" article.

1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press
Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.

2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard
to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic
bag the mouse was packaged in.

3. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back
in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on and
was
heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the
door.

4. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax
anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered
the
man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor
screen and hitting the "send" key.

5. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer
worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and
soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them
individually.

6. A confused caller to IBM was having trouble printing documents. He told
the technician that the computer had said it "couldn't find printer" The
user had also tried turning the computer screen to face the printer but that
his computer still couldn't "see" the printer.

7. An exasperated caller to Dell Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell
Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the
technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her
response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The
"foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.

8. A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. The
tech asked her if she was running it under "Windows." The woman responded,
"No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point. The man
sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window and his printer is
working fine."

9. Tech Support: "O.K. Bob, let's press control and escape keys at the
same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now
type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager."
Customer: "I don't have a "P".
Tech: "On your keyboard, Bob."
Customer: "What do you mean?"
Tech: "P" on your keyboard, Bob."
Customer: "I'm not going to do that!!!"

Yes, people SHOULD take IQ tests to own a computer!

For my CC account pws and such I actually create one...but for all my other PWs I use the same PW and most of the time its 11111111....I do this because for one its easy...and for another I really dont' give a sh1t who accesses my crap....I mean, I wouldn't care if anyone read my email, I wouldn't care if people could access my computer...I figure if someones gonna spend the time to crack one of my PWs they might as well have access to all of it...
