Ugh, ugh. Even my passwords and stuff had reverted back to old ones... at least the Posts weren't lost though. Will there ever be a way to fix the guest names?

You remember your password from 2003? Holy cow I can't remember what day of the week it is.

I use a complex cryptic algorythym with a double locking enigma with reverse characteration encryption for my passwords. This say they are so complex that only a four year old with an autistic special ability for breaking codes.

The safest thing is to use acronyms. Seems to easy to brute force if you use real words, just use a ten character password that combines numbers with letters that uses the first letters of some catchy phrase that you make up.

OT:
Password best advice is to use at least 3 out of the 4 categories of characters. The four categories are lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The minimum length should be 8. I've set XP to reject passwords not complex enough. I really ought to set a password expire system up (XP has this), but I don't feel like changing it every couple of months.
