To whom it may concern,

I am not able to open my folder.  The computer says I am using a bad login
or password but I am using the same one I always use.  It is very
frustrating.  What is wrong with it?  Should I just keep trying or destroy
my computer?

That's kinda bad alright...

You mean, you're making a telnet connection and cannot log into the
remote computer?

Could be a corrupted password file. Could be some kid playing a prank
on you. Could be you've Alzheimer's.

Trying won't do. If the passwd is not valid, it's not valid.

That's a neat alternative. You know, there are some good websites around
that will show you how to do that properly. I liked the "monitor learns
to fly" part most.

Ok, talk to your sysadmin. She'll know what to do. At least, she's the 
only one who can actually fix your problem.

Cheers,
Robin
