Cubicle Neighbor M was helping someone get into one of our local systems.

M: Do you know what they set your password to?
Guy: Um, no.
M: let me try something. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... that was it!
Guy: thanks.
Me: (over cubicle wall) Hey, that's the sort of password an idiot would have on his luggage!

My favorite is either the guy who didn't realize he had to put the correct username to log in, or the woman who thought her password was five stars, both of which I had to deal with.

My favorite was when I was working in my college's computer lab. We had guest accounts for users that came in but never applied for their own account. A woman came in once and asked for the the username/password to login. I told them to her. Then she said that she needed some additional help once she was logged in so I followed her back to a computer. She sat down and was about to type in the information I gave her but then said, "You can't look at me type the password." "I *gave* it to you." "You're not supposed to look at me when I'm entering it!" She made me turn around so I wouldn't see her type it in.

She didn't want you to see her hunt and peck. ;-)
