What if you forgot your password but retained all other memories?

Well see, that's why I keep my "password" memory stored snugly next to "breathing" and other such. If I'm walking around conscious, then I must still know my password.

I must have missed that option in the character creation part of being born (along with choosing my parents). For the record, human memory doesn't actually work in practice. It's unbelievably uncommon, but TBI have weird effects.
