Yeah, don't bitch at the help desk because you're stupid and can't remember your password from day to day.

Really.

It doesn't make us want to help you.

People forget passwords all the time, don't try to make it out that it's *our* fault you can't set it to something you can remember. The password in question? doesn't expire, can be between 4 and 12 characters, and you can set it back to what it was before (or, in your case, stupid user, what you thought it was).

Blech.

oh! I had to do password resets at my last job... ~not~ fun!! Like it's my fault that they cannot remember their passwords and company policy states they get 3 tries before they get kicked out.

Totally feel for ya!!!

really, resetting passwords, not a big deal. annoying to do, but most of the time it's a quick easy call.

but really, yelling at someone else because you're too deficient to remember a password? that's stupid.

I can never remember my password for my internet/mail service. mainly because I pu them in and forget they exist. I have a gazillion other passwords to remember. Where I work I don't have to ask the person for the old password, I can just reset it and boom, it is overwith. no biggie. Now, it is the people who dont know the correct circuit ID that piss me off!

Most of my users are pretty decent about their passwords. Probably because they are ultra simple, or they have them written down.

I have a set of four or five passwords of varied security that I use on a daily basis.

And I probably should rig something up so that in the event of my (un)timely demise, all the various username/password combinations are written down somewhere in a "safe" location. I'm thinking a CD-R with an encrypted file on it, and a application that will decrypt it for me ( sort of like the "security" programs for USB memory keys.

nothing I do for work can't be changed by *someone*

my mother knows where my "personal" passwords are kept in my house in case I die. I suppose that if I die in a house fire or something, that'll be the end of it, but oh well. None of my "personal" passwords are all that important, there is nothing of earthshaking proportions in my LJ or email.
