Password Anyone?

Had my Uncle Phil and his missus (letter from North Bransholme) over last night. Anyone who has been following his blog may have noticed that he hasn't updated it in a while. The reason for this is that he has forgotten his password :-)

Now anyone who works with IT knows that you have to pick passwords that can't be guessed, must be 6 characters or more in length and contain both upper & lower cases characters and contain numerals. And then, most people (including me) click the 'remember password' button, so we never actually 'remember password' :-) Phil reckons he has tried most of his usual passwords, but none of them work.

MrGoatse - do you reckon you could brute force it for him? :-D

Anyway, suggestions for Phil's new password might include:

dUMbASs01
UnkLeFuK3r

And of course the beauty of him not being able to access his blog, is that he can't berrate me for anything I say at the moment, nor can he retort anything.

His diet has started. He assures me he has cut down on chips (no, not the ones inside computers) and has started cycling, after giving up on running due to painful shins.

Anyway...I wish him all the best on his password and weight loss quest. I really need to get access to my hotmail account so I can publish any comments

too late, i already logged in last night and i have been updating it, and i did click the remember password button, this is second time it has done this to me, for some reason blog cancels out this request, but if you had chosen to look at my blog first you would have seen that i have published a post about this, so there.

I'm really bad with passwords, so I do the thing you're not supposed to and stick with the same password for everything. Except my bank account of course.
