I had a few like these when I did tech support. One I remember was e-mailing an instruction to a user which included:
Password field: leave blank
I eventually got a response that said:
When I type in" leave blank" as the password the system rejects it. I have tried both upper and lower case but it doesn't work. Can you please reconfirm that the password is "leave blank" please?

If such things amuse you, and they do me, check out this website:

The entries are old and might refer to things that some users are unfamiliar with such as modems and floppy disks. The one which amused me most, which I can't instantly find, was a person who was complaining bitterly that he couldn't get his PC to work. After some time it emerged that there was a power cut in his building; he was advised to put the PC back in its box and return it as he was too stupid to use it.
