Clarifications

[b][u]Do not respond to this thread.[/u][/b]

We, the members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery/removal of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover/remove a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we, the members of TechRepublic, [b]will not take[/b]. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, hard drive password recovery/removal should be taken up with the manufacturer of the hard drive, etc...

Thinking about the descriptive content - trying to RE-MEMBER something would give me [i][b]"The Willies"[/i][/b] ;) :^0

Nevermind

Cut off a section of trunk that is manageable by yourself, or a couple of people, if you can get assistance. Make sure it will fit through doorways. Watch where you are going- don't clip a coworker's head!

Place this log on to the system in question.

Cheers! Hope this helps.

If you only mostly forgot your password I may have been able to help you. Since you completely forgot it there is nothing I can do for you.

Try hypnosis.

This is an easy thing to do. Go to the store and pick up some memory enhancers. Take the dosage as it states on the label, no more, no less. Keep this up until your memory returns.

If your memory is poorer than most, you may need to see a doctor to get a prescription. This may also be the case if your memory does not return for a prolonged period of time.

Another suggestion, take the computer to a repair shop or call a mobile repair service. If it is critical and you just cannot wait for the memory to work, this is the best option.

For another option, sometimes you need to 'jolt' your memory into functioning. The best way for this is to get a powerful jolt. Find a sturdy tree or wall, and bang your head really, really hard against it repeatedly. If these jolts do not help, get in your car and find open road with no traffic. Speed up to 100 MPH, and find a large, large tree, aim for it. For this to work properly, make sure the seatbelt is NOT on and the airbag has been removed before attempting.

Rosemary to be precise. It's properties are known for improving alertness and helping with study and memory.
Of course I'm serious.

[b]Inebriation[/b] - from whence the [i]'brilliant idea for a password'[/i] came from - might help! ;)

Can't think of any booze that smells of Rosemary though.

Don't even know anyone called Rosemary. :D

All those little white bits must be discarded memories eh? :^0

Cause you obviously cannot re-member it :).

I wish I could help you, but hacking passwords is one of those things that if you don't know, you never will know.

Which is too bad cause I have needed to on several occasions, hack into computers for friends who have forgotten their own passwords. And once for a father that suspected his kid of surfing naughty websites and wanted me to hack his machine and check the histories... Father was right, kid was into child hentai.
