greatest gift from god

I was given a task to investigate a certain failure on a notebook computer returned from a customer. Upon completion of the OS bootup, I was greeted with a password request screen.

“Fuck!” I yelled. I used to be able to crack Win2K and certain version of XP passwords with a program that was given to me by a friend. But not Vista. That was when I smack the keyboard hard yelling another ‘goddamn!’ to illustrate my frustration, and accidentally pressed the ‘Enter’ key in the process. Sensing the wrong password being entered, the OS popped a line of hint under the password entry box - “Password Hint : Greatest Gift From God”.

Greatest gift from God.

Well, hell, it couldn’t be that hard, could it? The person who’s capable to come up with such a wussy hint must be someone corny, so I adjusted my thoughts to think of the corniest answer there ever was - “love”.

So I typed “love”. It drew an incorrect password screen.

Hmmmm, he’s not that corny after all, I thought.

I typed “woman”. Incorrect password screen.

I made it plural - “women”. Incorrect password screen.

Seeing the picture of the dog there, I even typed “dog”, still incorrect.

Fuck, this is harder than I thought - I said. And I tried somemore. This time, I tried to be honest with myself.

career
food
girl
girls
sex
breast
breasts
tits
pussy
vagina

I tried everything that was invented by God, but none came up as the right match. That was when I give up and made a phone call to IM’ed Ken, my colleague who was the one who gave me this case… and I got the answer finally - it was totally out of my scope.

But I ain’t gonna reveal it so easy here. I’ll let you guys guess yourself and see what you can come up with…

    Well, seeing as the display picture is of a dog and the password hint is “The Greatest Gift From God”. I’m guessing its the owner’s pet dog’s name?

    Spot?
    Spike?

    Way too many to name..


  • cbljkkj

    I retract my previous statement. “The Greatest Gift From God” Either it’s the fact that the owner is all too aware that he/she is great or the fact that he used the password as a referral to his child/spouse’s name?


  • August 13th, 2007, 11:32 pm | #

    HAHA!

    2) the client’s name…you know how some ppl act like they’re “God’s gift to [the opposite sex]” ?

    Ok screw that previous comment, I just re-read all the comments above and you have mentioned it was not the right answer, ahahhaah


  • August 14th, 2007, 1:14 pm | #

    Seeing the way this thing goes, I am surprised that nobody actually mentioned anything about their in-laws…

    I spotted only ONE match up there. The miniscule punctuation lady got it. And even that, it was her final guess…

    (my god’s greatest gift definitely have to be sex. Without sex, everything else dies)
