  I've heard that they don't need the W's anymore as the boss has moved on.

  Now the problem is that the O's are now missing.

  I knew of a mythical organization where "got root?" had real meaning. One server had root root as the credential for root. After getting flamed for SA no password I heard of someone changing it to password. After that flame he realized that the original complaint was phrased as "no password" so he changed it to yes.

  I tend to use words like "sdrawkcab". One of my customers left a Venga Boys CD in the drive of a machine they sent to have configured. It got sent back to them with an admin password of "Going2Ibiza". And for extra meanness I included the double quotes.

  A customer complained that their database was full and they needed more room. "No.", I said. "Type in T R U N C ..."
