Nounpasswords
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for authentication, to prove identity or gain access to a resource (example: an access code is a type of password). The password should be kept secret from those not allowed access. The use of passwords is known to be ancient. Sentries would challenge those wishing to enter an area or approaching it to supply a password or watchword. Sentries would only allow a person or group to pass if they knew the password. In modern times, user names and passwords are commonly used by people during a log in process that controls access to protected computer operating systems, mobile phones, cable TV decoders, automated teller machines (ATMs), etc. A typical computer user may require passwords for many purposes: logging in to computer accounts, retrieving e-mail from servers, accessing programs, databases, networks, web sites, and even reading the morning newspaper online. Despite the name, there is no need for passwords to be actual words; indeed passwords which are not actual words may be harder to guess, a desirable property. Some passwords are formed from multiple words and may more accurately be called a passphrase. The term passcode is sometimes used when the secret information is purely numeric, such as the personal identification number (PIN) commonly used for ATM access. Passwords are generally short enough to be easily memorized and typed. For the purposes of more compellingly authenticating the identity of one computing device to another, passwords have significant disadvantages (they may be stolen, spoofed, forgotten, etc.) over authentications systems relying on cryptographic protocols, which are more difficult to circumvent.

GNU Free Documentation License How do I delete computer passwords from a different user on my computer? Q. I have been given a Dell computer from my sister. However, her former husband set up his account on this computer (says he cannot remember the password), making himself the only administrator. Now, I cannot add any programs ( like iTunes), nor can I delete anything. How can I clear his passwords from this computer, and make myself the administrator? I am afraid that I shall have to delete everything, then begin again (ugh!) That would mean buying new programs, installing them and so on. Any ideas?

Answered by Mad Mechanic - Sun Apr 12 09:09:54 2009 Why does it take so long to get passwords at certain companies? Q. I have just started a new job about a week ago, and I still do not have logins for the systems I need to use on a daily basis. One of my coworkers, who has been here nearly a month, does not have logins for some of the systems he needs still. Why does this take so long, and is there anything I can do to expedite the process? Mainly looking for people who handle issuing these types of passwords, etc. Thanks! Asked by Pickles_FTW - Wed Apr 23 09:46:20 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would guess that some companies have to go through a weird process of setting up proper restrictions to each employee's login profile, so that might take some extra time. Some companies, however, are just slow. Pestering them might not really help matters, but bringing it up at least once shouldn't hurt.
