Baravelli (Chico Marx): ...you can't come in unless you give the password.
Professor Wagstaff (Groucho Marx): Well, what is the password?
Baravelli: Aw, no. You gotta tell me. Hey, I tell what I do. I give you three guesses. It's the name of a fish.

"The Chairman doesn't seem very bright, but I'd give him more credit than using the computer's actual name as the password. That would be like me making my website password "agonybooth". Uh... But don't actually try that password, because that isn't it. Er, excuse me for one second. I have some administrative stuff to take care of."

" 'Morphic Street, 9 o'clock tonight, password: swordfish.' Swordfish. Every password was swordfish. Whenever anyone tried to think of a word that no one would ever guess, they always chose swordfish."

People are dumb .... the most common passwords are 1234567890, 123456, password, The persons birthday, and password1. The name of a family member is a close second

Mason,

Stop complaining and go with it. It's new to all of us. You'll need a better password first off. "password" doesn't cut it. This is the CIA. You gotta protect your secrets and we're in the business of secrets. Go with something only you would know, something personal but not obvious. Do what I always do. Combine a name and a number. Pick someone important to you, like a mentor or something. Then put a date that's important to you on the end. For example, the year you won a big award. Combined those would be pretty difficult to guess.

Change your password or I'll do it for you. You do not want me sending mails in your name.
