I recall many moons ago needing to migrate monitoring software to a new environment, and the original admins were no longer with the company. We didn't have the SQL password, so we couldn't make any changes. After a while in with tech support, we got transferred to someone else. That person let us know where in the file structure the plaintext doc containing the password lived.

I wish I was joking.
