rational, but this came from PHB as per OP and the perspective and expectations are different. It is time to fix the escrow/decommissioning policy regarding passwords. Just don't let it happen again and maybe you can get all of the home directories encrypted as a part of the new policy (now that you can confirm it covers most of the firm's proprietary information).
