MODERATORS
Would “ guest” be acceptable?
I mean... Do you want a 'guest' on your account?
The only systems that I use admin or password for are testing systems that are never going to be actually on 24-7 or carry anything worthwhile, And generally can't even access the outside world anyway.
If you're allowed to even use these passwords, there's something incredibly wrong with the system you're using. Many systems even have the top 10K used passwords on a blacklist, nevermind the fact that most of these wouldn't get past a standard 8-to-15 character limit.
I just use a string of eight asterisks.
idiots. I go to seven. duh.
Waiting for hunter comments

needs to be 8 or more characters
Well lookie here, someone doesn't use a leading space for their password
error: invalid character used. Try again.
System.out.println("admin");
