Let me guess. Their password was password.

I have helped many relatives and friends to resolve problems on their computers. Lots of them are idiots. They either create no secure accounts, or use the default administrator account... with no password. And when they do create a password for Internet accounts, it's something safe that no one would think of, like "54321", their birthday or their kid's name. And they write it down on a piece of paper taped to the computer. Despite warnings, they don't learn to use safe practices.

From my CMU days, they keep them under their keyboard.
