Something similar happened to me recently. I checked out five iBooks to a
professor chairing a conference and Saturday afternoon got a frantic call --
the University's help desk was trying to set up and they needed the
administrative password to connect the projectors. Huh? I thought. So I told
them to close the lid to put it to sleep, plug in the projector, turn it on,
and open the lid again to wake it up.

"Ah! It works!" they said.

"Duh," I thought.

I still don't know what the Windows experts at the help desk though they
needed to do.
