For a while now, Microsoft has offered a free suite of Windows VirtualPC images, which enable web developers to test their web applications in legacy versions of Internet Explorer.

If you've ever used one of the images you will know that if you alt+tab away and let the image idle, eventually windows brings you to the locked screen, which you cannot unlock without knowing the password to the account "IETest".

Unfortunately Microsoft has done a pretty poor job of communicating what the password is, but after a bit of digging I discovered that the password to IETest is:

P2ssw0rd

Hopefully that saves you some hair pulling.
