Passwords are generally defeated by a hammer to the fingers.

Repeat until password is extracted.

Knees probably better -- break my fingers and I can't give you my password
I didn't break your jaw, so you can still communicate.

Point taken though, start with the toes, it gives you more to work with if you have to progress up the leg.

I don't know what my computer's password is, it's muscle memory
Your hammer is preempted by a teethed hollow point bullet to the face (in the hypothetical scenario, of course).
