Maybe Clark - even with his superspeed - couldn't figure out his password because it relates to something he doesn't even realize happened. For instance, my password that I use for a lot of things is a name that everyone would instantly recognize but would never guess for a password because when I chose it years ago - it related to a class I was taking. So Clark might use... Harrington if he chose a password to remind him about HiM, but isn't something most people would guess. He may have chosen something that reminds him of his first post-Messenger investigation that brought him into contact with Lois or the name of the restaurant he asked her to go to [or something to go with one of those notes he kept] or something, but without that memory, even with superspeed, it seems unlikely he'd get it for a long time.

Just a thought smile .
