> Whenever you get to an alarming conclusion like "this means forgetting the password to your laptop means life in prison", chances are, you've missed relevant details. Was OP's comment edited after you replied? I read nothing implying the OP concludes forgetting one's password means life in prison. I read a seemingly tongue-in-cheek, obviously hyperbolic bit of nonsense about using this as a vector for watching the world burn because people couldn't prove otherwise. Sure, OP is stretching for effect, but it doesn't seem OP missed relevant details.
