subject: Lost Passwords

Kurt,

  Years ago, when I was still living at home, the BBS was at my parents
home (their place as well). I moved out before I got married, and my
wife made it a "Married With Modem" experience. :)

  However, before we got engaged, I came over to her place for a visit,
and went to logon to my BBS. I hit one of the F-keys, as a logon macro.
Nothing happened, and then it hit me...

  "You idiot. You aren't at the host console. You don't know your
password, and can't logon to your own BBS"!! :P

  I wonder how many Sysops have had this happen to them??

Daryl
