Bypassing the password
Jaspal Bhatti 

My friend Sukha went to a neurologist and asked him, ‘Doctor sahib, my problem is that I can’t recollect the passwords for my computer, Facebook, emails, I phones or bank lockers." The doctor said, "It is a serious problem. Let me check your symptoms from an online book I was studying the other day and explain to you the gravity of your problem." The doctor tried hard to use the online library but couldn’t because he forgot its password.

The world is fast changing into an e-world. From opening the electronic lock of your house to your credit card details, you need a password. Without a password, you cannot avail any paid online services or software. To remember so many passwords in your life is a terrible ordeal. Mothers are heard saying now-a-days, "Beta badaam kha lai varna itney passwords kaisey yaad rakheyga." I first opened an email account on Yahoo. After a few days I forgot its password; and then I opened an account on Hotmail and wrote its password in a notebook. As usual I again forgot the password. I tried hard but failed to recall in which notebook I had scribbled down the password.

One day, I was opening another Internet account. For password, I typed ‘brain’. My wife, who was looking over my shoulder, burst out laughing when it popped up on the screen, "too small".
