I just set up a show tonight. HO set her password as SEX6
Come on people, can't our computers avoid some like this?
 
Whoopsie... email tech support on that one, I'm sure they just didn't think about it. Then delete the show, and set it up again.
 
LOLThat might get your host's attention to your PWS!
 
Yes, you can build a 2nd show and delete the first one. ;)But I agree that you should tell tech support. They should be able to avoid that sequence from coming up!

I had to laugh. At least the password wasn't SEX69 Hee Hee. I am going to let tech know. I knew about deleting and then resetting up the show. Unfortunately I had already hit sent. I don't normally look at the password before sending. I do however, write the password on a letter I put in the host packet. That's when I noticed it. I figured if I resent, I would have been drawing attention to it.
 
I'm sure she noticed it! I certainly would have and I would have probably called you and given you a hard time, all in fun. That's is kind of funny, but I could see people getting really annoyed. Good to make sure you tell tech support. We aren't THAT type of home business!
