I don't think you've ever worked at a corporate help desk -- people do forget passwords, even ones they've used for months - they'll swear up and down that the AD server is wrong.

I once helped a professor decrypt a zip file by brute forcing the password (it was only 6 characters long). He swore it was his wife's name and that the file must be corrupt because he surely knows how to type her name. Turned out that it was a misspelling of her name, and he said "Oh right, I misspelled it to make it harder to guess".

I did, I forgot passwords that were long and complex too. I forgot new passwords regularly after thinking okay, now I got it.

I'm just claiming that this is how courts operate, not that it's the best thing ever and that it's infallible.
