Is it Teletubbies?

Imaginary cookies on offer to the first to name the top-level security  
codes used by Sheridan, Ivanova, and Garibaldi to reset Babylon 5;  
commiseration is offered to those who can remember their serial numbers  
too :-)

Garibaldi's password is "peekaboo"; I use a mutation of that for some 
stuff (come to think of it, I should probably pick a new password at 
some point).

Sheridan - Obsidian
Ivanova - Griffon
Garibaldi - peekaboo

From Ceremonies of Light and Dark, where they reset all passwords and reboot
the computer system.

In my (limited) defense, I watched the episode just a few days ago. 2 of my
friends bought me B5 DVDs for birthday/christmas

I guessed it would be probably be you to get them all. Have an imaginary  
cookie; hell take three, one for each correct answer.

"Peek-a-boo?"
"Well would you have guessed it?"

As Gail's already mentioned from Ceremonies of Light and Dark where they  
perform every IT manager's dream task of turning everything off, rebooting  
 from scratch, and crossing their fingers in the hopes everything comes  
back on.

Moral of the story: Don't mess with the servers. They can ruin the rest of
your week, and they know it.
