- randysouth, on 10/10/2007, -2/+53No problem.... if you're Commander Data.
- dhess, on 10/10/2007, -0/+36I don't think that he would have any problems memorizing his password then... but I've got a pretty decent guess as to what it would be. =)
- openthink, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33guess that rules out your home telephone # backwards....
- dsendecki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Isn't that the bios, rather than the OS throwing that error?
- BassJunkie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27I think the real kicker is that you can't use any of your previous 30,689 passwords.........

- Krumm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21That's been available on many PC's since BIOS was invented!
Whoever is touting this as a Vista bug must be running out of ideas... - MadN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Enter any 11 digit prime number to continue....

- wiifm69, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Microsoft are just future-proofing, thinking ahead to the year 3048
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17i don't care if you know it, try ***** typing that in.
Security through "***** I'm starting to hallucinate" - xtraa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Finally! They figured out, how to make Windows absolutely safe and secure!
Cancel or allow. - whitehornmatt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14And Make Sure You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter When Making A Password.

Copy, paste, done. - zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15How old are you?
- GerryBot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Yeah, but they've got the Y3K bug to contend with first...
- jetskidude911, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11It would kind of suck if you forgot your password.

- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12basically Micro$oft is saying "Dont bother with the passwords, Your box is hackable anyways"
- seanherman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I think there's a bigger problem in play if your boss is regularly chatting you up about your password
- HonoredMule, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 - Mapeki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Its at boot, its so if your keyboard isn't working you can plug in another/fix it.. what ever and keep going by pressing F1.. Wow, that is stupid...
- STKD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yes but he probably won't let that stop another lame Microsoft bashing attempt...
- link470, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7That would seriously suck when you get the message "you're password is incorrect, please try again" after 4 hours :P
- daok, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7schestowitz if we start to do screenshot of all Linux problems too we will be there for a long time too. Stop bashing.
- Markie1006, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7And people said Microsoft wasn't taking security seriously.
- Mapeki, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Thats so if you plug your keyboard in afterwards....
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7An obvious lie. The Model M doesn't break, ever. Take your heresy to someone less gullible.
Only one thing could ever break a Model M but you've obviously had no contact with Chuck Norris since you're alive to make that post. - houndeyex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6but don't get it wet
- rebopper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Yep, the last line of your comment made it so uncool, man. Seriously, WTF did you even mean by that?
- DrDigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Third posts a charm
- charityjustice, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5shestowitz = retard or troll (seriously)
- enforcerpsu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Are you sure you wish this change your password?
Are you sure? - Xanium4332, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7your post was funny all the way to about the last line, where you ruined it.
- EmileVictor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5By the way, I was just about to ask you for that.
- Philluminati, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4schestowitz is a microsoft basher: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/topics?lnk=gschg
- Murdats, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4My password is the first chapter from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, but man does it make your fingers sore typing that into everything.
- digitalsatori, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Na.. they just rebooted that "unix system" and they didn't need the password. Gotta love movies!
- sykotik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This is a far better support article:

As an aside... Old Windows 2000 bugs? I mean..... seriously? Aren't there some breakthroughs in quantum physics somewhere we could be posting? - AJH16, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Actually, this was authentication against a Keberos domain, so the authentication wasn't based on the local password store and wiping out the local file would not grant you access.
- simpleid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3no, when the girl discovered that they "had unix" she flew around the OS in a 3d opengl landscape until she found an obscure 3d block that gave her root, so she reset all the security and returned power....
whew, good thing they had unix. - kurocrow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Mdeppi's joke was that Data can't use contractions. Thus "you are" and not "you're".

- stryker2you, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I use my ATM pin number...its 3862.
- meechwings, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Man, why do those MIT people always have to one-up everyone else? Cars on top of their buildings, 17,145 character passwords....
- Amnesia10, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"guess that rules out your home telephone # backwards...."|
