Years ago I got the (then) admin account password at work because one of the LAN admins typed with two pointer fingers and I just watched.

Same, but at school. My account couldn't log in for some reason, so the teacher logged me in as admin lmao

At my high school the admin password for the Novell server was 12345. Kind of obvious if you see someone type it in.
