Passwords..

If you're going to put passwords on computers then leave them with computer technical folk, please tell them: a) it has a password, and b) what it is.

Windows passwords are easy to get rid of; boot passwords and what not are not. As intelligent as we may be we don't have time to perform dictionary-based attacks for something you should have told us before you went out the door.

You don't take your car to a garage and then walk off with the keys, do you? A more aggravating situation is the user who puts passwords on the Administrator account in Windows XP. Aside from the fact you only ever see this account in Safe Mode and if you're using said account the system's typically screwed anyway.
