Title: Pwned! Share Your Most Epic SysAdmin Fail Stories

Hey guys, I've got a classic story to start us off. We were migrating a critical production server from old hardware to new, and I managed to accidentally format the wrong drive (read: the one with all the backups and configuration files) instead of the temp drive I was trying to wipe. Needless to say, that was an interesting night...

"Dude, I had one time where I accidentally deleted the root user, and then couldn't figure out how to get back in. Ended up having to do a full reinstall and reconfig everything from scratch. Talk about a facepalm moment"

"Lmao I once accidentally wiped my own server thinking it was a test machine. Turned out I had saved some important project files on it and lost hours of work. Needless to say, that was a long night..."
