FWIW,
i use several levels of passwords..
1st level is simple and known to most..
2nd level is an easy to remember, common password..
3rd level is so scrambled that it would take years or supercomputer time to
break it or billions of monkeys pounding away on billions of keyboards to
happen upon this one PW..
the point is, i keep the less than "burn BEFORE reading" security level PW's
easy and the important ONE difficult, but only ONE is that difficult..
thus all are easy for me to recall..
PW's on thinkpads:
the SP resides on a PW chip, i believe, and this can be cleared by replacing
that chip..
Marty Wanner, who monitors my open forum, represents a company in canada
whice replaces and or clears most ALL passwords on a thinkpad and i suppose
other lesser laptops..
AND, one last thought..
i mistype ALL THE TIME..! and if a PW is mistyped, the typer is in deep
doodoo.. :-)
until 'he' goes back, thinks it out, and recovers..
i know, i did this once on a 750C..
i too think that all this is not so far off topic in these days of FEW to NO
topics as to raise the issue.. :-)
and, anyone know if a 1472 I series thinkpad supports cardbuss..??

Cordially, :-)
