I agree, I reem my desktop guys because I think they don't use enough
analytical skills before they call me for networking issues. I
definitely would not have a good response for a CCIE candidate who seem
to have problems solving an issue that 70 percent of us would consider
elementary. I teach a lot of networking classes in my spare time, so I
can deal with people asking questions. But, I can't deal with people in
my industry who would consider themselves my equal, and don't understand
something I did before I was even a CCNA.
I would SHOOT a CCIE candidate who asked me about password recovery on a
standard platform

IMHO YES! If there were no reference material available or if the
reference material did not contain the answer to this question, I might
agree that this by itself should not be a disqualifier. But remember,
this is not just a test over memorized data, Cisco wants to know if you
can work through a problem (and do so quickly) even if you have never
seen it before. This is what sets CCIE certification apart from other
industry certs. Many folks can memorize data and commands, not as many
can solve complex problems. I suspect that if you could get CCIE
certified by memorizing commands most of us would not think that it was
worth pursuing because everyone would have one.
