Luckily I learned from a young age. When I was 7 or 8 I was using the computer my dad used to run his company. It had dual 3.5" floppy drives, and a new (to me) hard drive. Needing to format a floppy, I opened the format utility and for some reason I thought I should chose "hard disk" (because it wasn't floppy?!? hmm) when prompted.
So I format the "hard disk" and for some reason my 3.5" wasn't formatted. So I tried again and again to no avail and gave up.
The production manager came in to work Monday morning to a fresh hard drive. Some things were backed up and some things had to be recreated.
The outcome of this necessitated learning a new skill: bypassing passwords.
