When I am in particular states of mind (mostly when I believe I'm being clever) I forget that on average I am, in fact, not. One of these occasions has come to pass as I was signing in on my computer. I know my basic password. I type it in on a regular basis and therein should know it. But as I was doing so it had that little "forgot" bottom near the bottom and I became intrigued as what I put. The hint was "french" of course I got my reference and then tried to type it in. But at this point the computer figured I had truly misplaced my password instead of crying wolf; so in place of my normal password I had to type in the filevault one. At first I thought "oh! this must be [insert the password I use for filevault]" and went along merrily. However, I was very mistaken. I guess at the time I decided to make filevault password I thought I was clever and put something even I wouldn't remember. Great. So now I'm stuck with a regular password but if all else fails I'm screwed. yay. for. technology. w00t.
