The password was of course “PASSWORD”
Or "ChangeMe"....

Hillary is such a power hungry narcissist, it was probably:

HILL4PREZ
HILL2016

In other words something Russian intelligence would have guessed on about their 3rd try. Reminds me of when they installed a computer network at my high school, this was 1990 so a computer network was really high tech stuff, all the teachers had a terminal in their classroom and kept their attendance records on them (the district didn't trust the technology enough yet for grades). Us "computer nerds" quickly figured out that 23 of the 26 teachers had used "PASSWORD" "12345" or "VIKING"(the school mascot), needless to say many of us spent our senior year skipping class and then changing our attendance records.

Sounds like old Jackson High School. Gore was still avoiding Vietnam fire when I was in school. We had to use an eraser.

I worked for some of the “initial agencies” during my career - when we got new computers for our networks (both secure and non-secure), they came with a standard throwaway password of “ChangeMe” as a reminder that the first time someone booted up and logged in, they needed to provide a new and secure password before putting operational/classified data on them. It was discovered that sometimes a year or more later, the password was still “ChangeMe”. They have since set it up so the initial user has no choice but to change the password to a secure format before being allowed to continue....
