    okay so it says that in Europe the chickens are vaccinated against salmonella, so maybe I should try to find someone who's vaccinating against it before buying unwashed eggs? hm

    So long as you're properly cooking the eggs and are careful about what raw eggs touch it isn't a huge issue. You should be doing the latter anyways and the first is really just like don't prepare steak tartar with them unless you really trust the farmer.

    isn't the salmonella not in the raw egg, but on the shell? so just wash your egg before putting raw egg on stuff?

    or have i been led astray

    Salmonella is in the raw egg if the chicken carries it

    Washing eggs might offer some protection if your egg comes from a non salmonella carrying chicken that is nevertheless in close contact with chickens that do carry it

    Tell her, but do it by saying that someone tried to log on too many times and her password reset. Tell her to make sure that her password is one she can remember so it won't happen again in the future.

    depends on your org, but that'd be something you'd want to proactively fix at my company as they wouldn't be able to get email on their phone, etc, and you probably don't want them calling the help desk if you can avoid it

    This shit happens. It's best to let them call in because otherwise an honest mistake turns into needless paranoia and witch hunting on the part of the customer. They have no problem accepting their password needs resetting, but they will never believe their password was accidentally reset. No, surely you are hacking their gibsons.

    Do it to every other user, call it a "widespread system issue" then sit back and do nothing for 3 hours. Then fix it for everyone.

    Seeing as VIPs forget their own password and/or how to type every other week, password problems never come back on IT.

    Like, when they do straight up forget they blame IT anyway.

    Why take the heat when you can just say "yes, yes, I have no idea how it could have happened, I'm so sorry" like you do every other week when it's the VIP's fault

    I am 90% sure when you get hired to be a sysadmin you wake up with white hair like a nerdy version of Tim Allen's Santa Claus.

    lie? Not at all. Hell you can note on the user account you accidentally did it. You can be completely honest internally.
    Never tell the user because they rarely believe the truth. Users are paranoid as fuck. Especially if you're talking "VIPs" (protip that's almost always code for Old as Fuck outside silicon valley)

    nobody will investigate it, this user is bad at computer and everyone will just assume she fucked it up just like her brother did (the other owner, the one who I was supposed to be resetting)

    she's actually really nice though, I don't mind telling her, the problem is the fucking CIO is holding a sales meeting in the help desk area for no reason and if he hears me explain it to her he's going to MAKE AN EXAMPLE because he's that kind of asshole

    If your options are :

    A) Pretend like it never happened and go on with your life and feign ignorance
    or
    B) Admit you made a mistake and have your company escalate the "problem" to the CIO/CTO so they can bitch at you about a stupid mistake

    it seems pretty obvious what the real answer is
