and remember that unlike Windows the letter case (big or little)
matters…for example in linux EACH of the following is a completely
different password and they are NOT interchangable:

password Password pAssword pasSword passWord passwOrd etc etc PAssWOrd
etc etc paSSwORd etc pasSWOrd etc … pasSWORD paSSWORD pASSWORD PASSWORD

so, how did the person who typed it the first time type it?
