That was, until he revealed that his password was "Boeing--"!!! Holy smokes Batman! A collective groan went up in unison from all who overheard this exchange. Needless to say, we advised him to change his password as soon as possible.
Am I missing something here? When I was initially hired, I had an alpha-numeric password for DBMS. I quickly learned that didn't work very well with the phone call in system. Changed my DBMS password to an 8 digit numeric password and have had no problems since. I don't understand the "29 button pushes." Am I missing something?
