Today, I lost my laptop, but I have my old childhood computer to use. It's password-protected, and the hint to the password is "meaner than Hera." I haven't been into Greek mythology since I was a kid, and if anything, this computer has just shown me how dumb I've gotten over the years. FML

HeckIfIKnow tells us more.

So I never figured it out (although I'm pretty sure it wasn't the God of Farts) but the computer was really old anyway, so I'm just gonna borrow my mom's / use the one allotted to me at work until I can afford a new one. Thanks for the suggestions!

You haven't gotten dumber, your interests changed. When I was a kid I could name scores of dinosaurs off the top of my head. Today I can barely manage a dozen.

You haven't gotten dumber. You brain has to make room for new information. But I bet if you thought about it you could remember.

just use a cracker. if the younger you picked a password that was a single real world, a dictionary attack will take care of it in a few hours at the most. try Metis, Juno, Zeus, or Aphrodite

Try zeus I mean he forced her a to marry him, and I believe hera was his sister? not to mention the fact that he cheats on her constantly...or hades because he forced persephone to stay with him in hell and only let's her out during spring.

In regards to Hades, he actually does not force her to stay. If my memory serves me right, Hades deeply loved Persephone. There are two versions of their story that I know of: One where he forced her to eat a pomegranate ('the fruit of Hades') and the other where she ate it willingly because she loved him. However, the only "mean" thing he does to her is skin her alive when she cheats on him.

Your childhood self must not have been very smart cause nothing's meaner than Hera Wrath
