Notes on Password Protection
1 of 7: You may have noticed that if you switch to a 'fast-forwarded' time, you lose admin access to several systems.
2 of 7: This is because they have noticed you hacking in.
3 of 7: They notice you hacking in when you either log in as admin (with some exceptions) or are caught cracking a password.
4 of 7: Thus, do not log in and don't get caught cracking the password.
5 of 7: Avoiding capture when cracking a password is easy - simply use a Monitor Bypass (Note that the servers you jump through will still mark your logs as suspicious and you may get tracked - so de-log!).
6 of 7: And when you have cracked the admin password with your Monitor_Bypass on, simply Disconnect without clicking on 'Proceed'. Thus you'll have a steady supply of admin-access servers.
7 of 7: The passwords do change every once in a while, but it's a matter of weeks or months, not minutes.
