Help Mr. IT Person,

We use a COMPUTER to view our imaging results and can no longer gain access to it due to forgetting passwords of insane complexity and length or have been hacked because someone made the admin password "Admin1234".  

Advice please...

Help Mr. Moderator!
I must have subscribed to the wrong list!  I thought this list had  
something to do with microscopy, but apparently it is populated with  
computer geeks and game theorists who fancy themselves to be cyber-
security experts.  All I can say is that the pay is MUCH better in  
that sector.  Maybe a change of career (or list) is warranted?
