I have been using that password for 6 yrs now, yes I spelled it right 
bypassing the windows password gets me to a more basic version of Winblows, using IE, it's like waking up in hell

Dedicated line like DSL, ISDN or Cable? Do you have a firewall?
At least it's up and running.

At least it keeps me in a job.
