Having just swapped out a hard drive from a kids laptop i had a quick look at data salvage....
They had their sole account as admin - I worked around that andgot Admin on safe...
BUT before all that I had checked their password hint.... it was "you can find it in the chest of drawers!"
So being the idiot that I am I spent a fiar old while typing in Knickers, socks, nickers, pants, jumpers etc etc because I seriously thought I'd get it and save time.....
Note to self - NEVER underestimate a child!
so
how
many
of
you
think
like
me
that
you
could
guess
the
password?
you
reckon?
Well
I
just
found
out
what
it
was
....
"ELEPHANT"
How cool it that? I smiled and smiled.... and then thought it was worth sharing
