And it is always a word that makes sense, either "LetMeIn" or "Secret"
or the name of somebody/something important to the film "joshua".
How about "dFXq93s5ka$fP" for a password?
Best wishes,
Rick.
PS: And funny how a massively powerful military computer happens to have
the exact same speech synth as an IMSAI 8080; not to mention that it
had no speech facility until required by the plot... Maybe David
stashed his synth in a pocket and plugged it into one of the
terminals when nobody was looking? It's amazing the things you can
do in films - I bet plugging a SATA cable into a USB port, or
running a SCSI harddisc from a serial port would "just work", no
problem with interfaces, not even a need to find the right drivers!
