Oh David how true, and as a police officer I must say long may this
remain because it makes my working life so much easier.

I'm willing to bet that this doesn't apply to mobile devices though
because mobile passwords are more rigorously enforced.

I have colleagues in the mobile phone department however, who can
guess passwords merely from knowing a few facts about a person.
Luckily, in computers I don't need to know this because people don't
usually employ full disk encryption.

A user password is no password at all when examining a disk at the
sector level. Happily, even if they did use full disk encryption I
would be able to crack it because people tend to use such dumb a**
passwords.
