The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

GeneralWindows 10 'Odd Behavoir' Pin

Hi All,
I was using Win 10 (the latest update?), had a power cut (cue bad language) when the power came back on left it a minute or two to get stable, repowered PC gets into the Win 10 section of boot asks me to update a password (?). Not trying to log in, not connected to the Net. Try the standard password, complains that I need to change password so increase the end number by one. Continues boot, log in with old password. Never needed it since. Could it have been a BIOS password? I don't think I set it on this PC.
