>Just to clarify something - was it the FBI who changed the password? Maybe I am wrong, but I thought I read that a county health department worker/official changed it - not the FBI. But again, not sure, so correct me if I'm wrong.

It was an FBI agent that did it - although at first they did try to toss someone else under the bus - but they'e admitted to it now.
