 Additionally I suspect that the following passwords are really typos and
 should be "AWARD_SW". However, I have no proof of it. They do NOT give
 the same hash as "AWARD_SW" though!

 award_ps, AWARD_PW, award.sw, AWARD?SW, award_?

You have to type AWARD?SW on a German keyboard to get AWARD_SW.
I think one of the PCs in my former school had AWARD_PW as masterpassword.
