Certainly :-) I leave IBMCE as it is shipped, too :-)

When I went to work for Piedmont Airlines in 1984, I was handed the directory 
maintenance job along with many other responsibilities as we were creating the 
data center. We had an IBM SE assigned to the account who was very er, shall we 
say, emotional about the topic of my previous employer, so I changed the 
password of IBMCE to AMDAHL. Whenever he wanted to do something on the system, 
he would ask another SE to log on and do it because he simply refused to use 
that password. The other IBMers on the account thought it was hilarious, so 
they kept giving him things to do that required logging on to the system. And 
they also refused to change it themselves when they logged on. 

Regards, 
Richard Schuh
