Interesting (or not) story. I moved into a new office at work last week, and the best arrangement was for me to use the computer used by the previous occupant rather than get a new one. The problem- I didn't know the password.
The computer officer came with me to an office with a disk with which we could reset the passwords on the machine. He said it had taken his colleague ten minutes to find a relevant program on the net.
Oh yes, there's a whole other bunch of security issues with putting stuff on computers.
I was just amused; to me, a secure room is one from which things cannot be stolen. Therefore, the laptops were taken from a room formerly believed to be secure.
