[b]Quite easy actually write the Password down seal it in an Envelope and stuff it into a Safe. When you forget the Password pick up the Yellow Pages find a Locksmith to open the safe so you can get the envelope out and open that and enter that Password again. After you do this remember to place in a new envelope place back into the same safe and get a Service Contract with the Locksmith so you can get the safe opened again at a reduced rate because you forgot how to open it.[/b]
