Most of them don't have passwords, they are static pages created in Ms Word XP or FrontPage 97 (to this day). They are now getting "modern" with heavy PHP+Typo3, notice the '"'. Seriously, the requirement of some Qc government organization to make page editing compatible with Microsoft Word (forbid CSS, favor tables) mandatory is the dumbest IT rule I ever saw. PHP will, on the long run, create an even bigger mess than Ms Word. I hate to say that, but they should have gone with Java. The quality of most of their programmers leave to be desired, you can't expect forward thinking practices. Not saying entry level programmers are useless, but relying on them for code with 20+ years lifecycle is not an economical decision.
*I never and will never work for them, but I came across some of their monstrosities as a consultant or over some (geek) beer talks (better than weather, at least funnier).
