    It Really Sucks when People Forget Important Passwords

    July 26th, 2010 by admin

    I’m really beginning to hate passwords.  I mean, I understand why they’re important.  They keep other people’s prying eyes from seeing or reading what they’re not supposed to.  They help maintain privacy, and all that.  But problems arise when the passwords end up keeping out the very people who’re supposed to be protected, in the first place.  It’s never happened to me, at least, but it’s happened to quite a few people I know and in every case, the situation proved really difficult to fix.For instance, a friend of mine got into trouble because he forgot what his Microsoft password was.  This was what he used to log in to Windows, so without it, he was effectively locked out of his system.  He couldn’t access his files.  He couldn’t do his work, because he needed to be able to use his computer to get work done.  I asked him how he could forget something so important, and he couldn’t properly explain what happened.  I think that he had changed some of his other passwords on line, and his mind got confused.  To make matters worse, he’d never taken the time to write it down, so there was really no place we could go for the information.Now, I’m not particularly great when it comes to computers, but I thought that I could try to at least search on line for information, relating to his problem.  I kept on looking for websites which could provide password help, but the articles that I did find either weren’t helpful, or they talked about stuff that I couldn’t understand.  So I just told him to try asking some of our other friends for help.  I think that, in the end, they were able to enter Windows.  I’m not sure how they did it though.  But he lost a lot of time, and wasted a lot of energy, just because of one forgotten password.
