/s usually indicates sarcasm.
I believe it's a joke referencing the default password for mssql for many years of sa/null. Eventually the install started forcing the user to change it to something, but for a time there were many mssql databases out there with a default password of null.
Oracles default password is change_on_install and you would be surprised at how many DBAs type it every day without reading it...
