I had a secretary with a three letter power-on password. She forgot it after our one week vacation over the Christmas/New Year holiday. I keep a master list of passwords locked in a file cabinet, organized by building, room, and initials. Next to her three letter initials was her three letter password. They were identical.
excerpt from student essay…
Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
This happened to me several years ago. The phone rang and I picked it up. It was my wife, Kitty, on the other end. She informed me that she was having problems printing out a report on the computer. The system was locked up and would not respond to the keyboard or the mouse.
I told her reboot the system. She did. I heard the printer go through the startup cycle. I asked her to describe what the computer was doing.
Her: “The computer is on, the monitor light is on, and the printer is on!”
Me: “What is on the screen?”
Her: “A box with the instruction: install Kickstart 2.0x.”
Me: “Kickstart? When did we get an Amiga?”
Her: “About six months ago? What’s the problem?”
Me: “We have an Atari, and we’ve had it for 18 months.”
Her: “What???” (high pitched squeak) “Sorry, wrong number!” (click)
