    Necro post! LOL I create a different, random, password for everything. None of them are shared, the shortest are 8 characters, and they're random strings of lower case and upper case letters with numbers and symbols scattered throughout. I have a hard copy of them all, because there is no way I could memorize them all. The only weak passwords I have are two for forums I belong to. If they are out to get you, being paranoid is just right thinkin'! LOL

      we have a rogue PC that we use at work for random duties such hooking up measurement equipment or running test programs.
      sat in a corner for about a year when I pulled it out to hook up a force measurement transducer for some mechanical testing I am conducting.

      well, anyone who may have remembered the windows password for this unit was gone, dead or had no clue.
      we downloaded a free program from a google search that ran linix, loaded it in the CD drive, ran the program.

      the entire process from Google search to log-on was less half an hour.
      after booting the program, i had the Windows 7 password in less than 5 minutes.

        Physical access is the key there. My pw protocol is a defense against outside intrusion.
