  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  …so add seven zeros to the end of your weak password and just get it over with. Good luck.

  …or just use your neighbour’s address, something like: 3245mainstreetmytown. Easy to remember, and the system will accept it as a strong password.
