Windows XP seems to have an equivalent of xlock.  It's been suspended
all night and now it comes up wanting a password:

   "This computer is in use and has been locked.

   "Only IBM-02Q0DRWJTLA\qef or an administrator can unlock this
   computer."

That would be swell, if I knew what the fecking password is.  And why
do I have to type this mysterious password to unsuspend, but not when
I boot the machine?  Couldn't a cracker just reboot?  Isn't that what
I'm going to have to do anyway because I have never heard of having a
password on this machine?

Bah.
