Genius

A computer system technician worked at a law firm. One day, in the process of reconfiguring a user’s computer, he had to log a user off and then back on. He entered her username and then asked her password to log back on.

Her password was "genius".

Each time he tried it, he received a message that stated the username or password was incorrect. Knowing that the username was correct, he asked her how to spell her password.

She said, "G - E - N - I - O - U - S."
