I went to work on wednesday, knowing that my password was about to expire; what I wasn’t expecting was to be locked out and have to get a new password.
This should be a simple process of someone resetting it. It shouldn’t turn into some French farce of going back and forth to that person in order to just get into your company system.
I was asked to provide a password (that I could and did remember). I did as I was asked and to wait 20 minutes before attempting to gain entry. If I knew this was a fortress I would have gathered up an army. Of course, in this context, this isn’t a fortress but merely a simple computer system, run by a corporate company.
With over an hour of going to the password resetter and back to my desk to attempt to sign-on again, I felt like giving up and asking to go home, rewind the time and start again. Obviously, this didn’t happen and I merely tried and tried and tried. Every attempt failed, much like talks with David Cameron, attempting to settle the Euro zone crisis.
I think in both cases, giving up is the best and simplest option to take.
