Password changing humor

Yea, so last night we went out and had a few cocktails with dinner. Then a couple more cocktails. One thing led to another and of course, we end up in an argument. The wife takes my laptop and locks herself into our room. Knowing full well she has taken my primary source of entertainment, she thinks she has the upper hand. In an effort to stave off her temptations to dig through my computer, I had the forethought to change the password. I sure taught her a lesson!

This morning I went to check my email and up comes the login screen. This is where the funny part kicks in. I cannot remember the damn password! I remember thinking to myself as I was changing it to make it something simple. 42 password combinations later I still can't remember the freakin' password. Now I'm getting worried. Twenty google searches later and I realize there is a slim chance I will recover this password for less than $50.

I finally find some website that describes a wacky security loophole during the windows xp repair process that will allow me to reset the administrator password... two hours later I have access to my computer again! wh00p!

The moral of the story, do not change passwords while intoxicated.
