[support] Trying to create an account on drupal.org

[Benjamin Haines]

Do me a favour...

Now that the world has seen your password hash, when you do successfully
create an account please use a different password :)

Ooh and make sure its not the password you use for other services, otherwise
you might get a nasty suprise.

Regards, Ben
