A couple of us managed to "steal" the school login/password (don't
think we ever used it, but...)... The teaching assistant didn't notice the
paper tape punch was active when persuaded to login to let us run a short

the tape and manually spinning the platen during the password
obscuration/input phase gave us the plain text.
