The Tech Support Guy forum has this rule: "Passwords - Please do not ask for assistance with forgotten passwords and/or bypassing them. As there is no way to verify the actual situation and/or intentions, no assistance will be provided and any such threads will be closed."</p> <p>The real essence of that rule is the part that says "there is no way to verify the actual situation and/or intentions".</p> <p>Harsh maybe, but I can see the reasoning. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/why-was-topic-closed-clear-admin-password-on-window-xp#post-58463 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 06:19:53 +0000 raphoenix 58463@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@techgranny,</p> <p>I had smiles by the "RAG".

The Executor "Curatrix" is liable for any wrong doing and would never turn over sensitive information to a third party. There are legal avenues for such matters.</p> <p>Rick, you're an angel!

Is that why the topic was closed? </p>
