He thought it was a one-off visit, but I was back there a few weeks later with some patches and upgrades. I explained that I'd need the password, as all I could remember was that it began with <redacted> and had <redacted> in it. That day's sysadmin went rather pale when I said that, and quickly set up a proper web server admin account for me. Then he started searching the server room for the PostIt note I'd left behind on my previous visit
