Brainteaser #50

 Use a brainteaser to start, revive or end a meeting. It’s a great way to shift the brain, spark new energy, maybe even cause a giggle or a smile.  All of which can help you boost morale and productivity.

Here is one in celebration of National Boss’ Day (coming up on Friday).

When Sally went to work one day, she discovered she couldn’t  log in to her computer.  She remembered that the passwords are changed every month for security reasons and went to ask her boss about it.

Sally:  ” Hey Boss, my old password is not working.”
Boss:  “You’re right.   The new password is now working, but if you listen carefully you should be able to figure out the new one.  It has the same amount of letters as your old password, with only one letter that has changed.”
Sally: “Thanks boss.”

With that, Sally went and logged into her computer.

What is her new password?

Question for Extra Credit:  What was her old password?

Ready for the answer?
