Hmmmmm... heres what i would do: make an *easy* to remember password. Write it down on a piece of paper 20-30 times, (and then tear up the paper so someone else wont know it) Then get the 'hash' value of that password. Save the hash on your computer in a TXT file. That way, if you forget it, you can 'guess' it, compare the guess hash to the stored hash... you get the idea. > P.S. I seem to be a slow learner.

Hey, if ya need some more entertainment, check out this program i wrote. Havent put it in the archive yet...
