The Oklahoma Department of Education can't log in to its own website because the person who had the password left and didn't give it to anyone. They haven't been able to login for 2 years. (nitter.poast.org)

No budget to hire an IT guy to hop into PHPMyAdmin and manually reset it lol

They couldn't google how to do it because their screensaver had a password

i'm thinking it's the password to the hosting account itself rather than the website back end. having worked in hosting, the number of small business tyrants who pay somebody to set up and manage their website and then fire them without ever getting any login details is hilarious. They're always enormous fucking assholes about it, too.
