This Is Unbelievable, But It's True

OK, clearly this requires a "global test." So, the best I can do is call for an "all MBP owners alert." If you are going to participate in this global test, follow the steps below:

1) At exactly 1900 GMT, get drunk, you have half an hour
2) When you have satisfactorily done so, ask a friend to hack into your machine
3) If they are successful, change your password and send it to me
4) Ask your friend to try again
5) Post results

Ready --- Go!
 
Ok woke up second time now, I am going to throw on some sweats and walk down the hall. I know for a fact he probably wont tell me what the pwd is, but I'll see if he can actually get into the system again.


I'll even try and record with my phone maybe.
 
I'll take a gander at what actually happened last night:

You were so LOKO'd that your (boy)friend had to take you back to your dorm room.
When you arrived to your room, your (boy)friend asked you to put in your password so he could use your computer.
You put in the password.
You were so LOKO'd that you do not remember putting in the password, and your (boy)friend made up the story about his uncle to mess with you.
You also don't remember the other things your (boy)friend did to you last night.

Just sayin.

Dude... 4 LOKO is 12% abv. A 12oz regular beer is about 5.5%, which means a 24oz 4 LOKO is the equivalent of about 4 beers, but it tastes like ass and will give you a horrible hangover due to the low quality of alcohol.

Save your kidneys and your dignity and drink real beer.
 
Have you password protected single user mode?

While you were not paying attention, your friend most likely logged into single user mode to backdoor into your system.

Here is an article about single user mode.

Here is apple's documentation on password protecting single user mode. The instructions for leopard work for snow leopard.
 
Ok here is the verdict.

I went to his room, and unfortunately it's parents weekend so there was his whole family sitting there looking at this disheveled half dressed kid. I blew it off like oh hey, and then after they left, asked him wtf.

he kept stalling out doing it and I was like I know I didn't give you my pwd last night, he's like I know.

Apparently though as his roommate informed me, last week when I was enjoying a nice buzz, I told it to him, and he has just remembered it all this time.

So yes, I was correct in saying I did not tell it to him last night, he just has a pretty good memory.

But it would have been cool.

I find that drinking water before going to bed really helps in not getting hangovers.

Careful, drinking too much water may actually make you puke if you're drunk. Just go to bed with a bottle of water next to you and drink it as you wake up dehydrated every now and then.

Best medicine I've had for anti-hangover on the next day is to take 2 advil or tylenol before you go to bed. Always eliminates headaches or reduces them by a good ~80% for me.

That situation can be extremely awkward. One Saturday morning (parents weekend, unbeknownst to me) during my sophomore year of college, I opened my bedroom door into my suite's common room and found the families of all three of my suitemates sitting around chatting. I was wearing only a towel, and there was a half-naked girl sitting on my bed, wrapped in a blanket, her bra hanging from the bedpost. :eek:

I said hi, scratched my head and turned around.
 
What???? Are you kidding???? There is no magical password for global access to anybodies Mac whenever I want.... damn!!!! This sucks!! I was soooooo excited to let Steve jobs experience Bill Gates' world for once. ;)

OP: you dissappoint me.

FYI. The fact that he was able to remember something a week later isn't really an indicator that he has a "pretty good memory". That's fairly normal for people who are not utterly smashed out of their gourd.

On the contrary, the fact that you couldn't remember telling him something so personal and important just a week ago. That's fairly abnormal for a healthy young adult. Not to mention potentially dangerous. You might want to consider backing off on the alcohol a bit. :rolleyes:
 
I would like to announce that I have just hacked into Steve's secret files and discovered the master password that permanently locks all Apple computers -- by remote control.

Everyone send me $200 by midnight tonight, or you'll never use your Mac again!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!
