Cutting Security To Cut Costs?

just currious asks: "I work for a large company (10,000+ pc's) who recently out sourced the help desk. After looking at about a year's worth of data we find the 30% to 50% of the calls to the helpdesk are password related (password resets, password changes, etc.) this is alot of calls (at 20+ dollars a pop). Now they want to reduce cost by cutting security, since if you don't have a password, you can't forget it. So here's what upper management wants to do: remove the security from all of our Windows 2000 machines. Has anybody else seen security cut just to save money?"
