It's amazing how many idiots have responded to this thread. I realize it's dead, but I still need to say something. 1. Yes, he could have just changed the pass, but then he needs to explain how to change the pass back later. It's also not as much fun. 2. I manage a lot of servers and systems as well as work with a computer repair company. We don't keep spare parts around, only the essentials. A keyboard doesn't count as essential. 3. That registry trick is cool, but I don't foresee me ever remembering that much crap. 4. MOST smart people will setup openssh-server when installing a system. It's not a huge security issue, especially if you also install denyhosts. HE DID THIS - OBVIOUSLY WOW!

HE DID THIS – OBVIOUSLY

As Jon said, I hope the brother didn't have to type any numbers in his paper. Sorry, it’s a good story but I think the truth was stretched just a bit.

For example, I have OpenSSH installed on my mother's box for similar reasons, but she's running Windows. Just as easy to do the same thing, though. I'd ssh into her machine, type "edit logon.reg" and enter in: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Ma" "DefaultPassword"="herpassword" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" Save it, type "regedit /s logon.reg", then shutdown -r and be done with it.

Or borrow one?? It's kind of strange, solving a hardware problem using software. OTOH, whatever works and gets that paper written. Uh… why not just get a new keyboard? Or borrow one??

This is not "all due to the wonders of Linux"... It's equally easy on Windows using Remote Desktop Connection or Mac OS using Apple Remote Desktop. I like Linux and all, but come on.
