I haven't been following this thread closely, but I *think* it was 
started by
someone with a machine at home and nobody else using it.  If that's the case
--as it is with me (I live alone)--then of what use is a password?  (I 
*do* use a
simple password, not a dictionary word, but only because the various
os's request that I put one in when I loaded them.  If I am mistaken about
the origin of the thread, then I apologize--mea culpa!
