Museum desperately seeks password hacker

It's not like they advertise in Yellow Pages...

NEWS A Norwegian museum is desperately seeking the services of a hacker after the only person who knew the password protecting its electronic library died. The creator of the library developed a catalogue of 1,600 books and documents before he passed away. Ottar Grepstad, the museum's director, sent out an appeal on national radio for hackers to help museum employees access the valuable information. The Norway Post claims the museum has already been contacted by several hackers. The hackers' CVs are being sorted to find the most likely candidates to crack the password.
