Gollum is right and for the right reasons. Some of the reasoning for #1 is heading in the right direction, but a lot of it isn't. Galadriel has the password, which is indeed mellon. Incidentally, mellon does appear on the Doors of Moria: ennyn Durin aran Moria. Pedo mellon a minno.

Ha! I was trying to squish Bilbo and Frodo into the birthday clue. Good one, Mith!
I'll take a stab at Nandor for the first but last clue, for a lack of better ideas.

Feel like an experiment...
Hoom humm. Alright. This is an unconventional password and for a certain reason it does not follow the conventions of cryptic clues in that it does not have straight clues. But, so that it's not utterly blind guesswork, none of these is a place or a thing. I don't know how much or how little this gives you, and I'll gladly give more hints about the clues.
1. Confused elderly sprinted 2. Reverse angry article 3. First to die, yet follows monk's chopped off head 4. First of famous explorer who found not what he sought 5. Greet a man deprived of a right 6. Make amends before the start of hegemony 7. Mix the foreign regret Happy riddling!

Could 4 be Christopher? First name of Christopher Columbus, who thought he'd found America but had found the West Indies.

Both correct. But Columbus didn't think he found America, or history would look a little - or big - bit different.

I was trying to make Hilary out of Hail, too. I thought Michael might have been the Mabel answer, but, as you demonstrated, it wasn't.
Well, I've even looked at some of the lines of letters in rot13, and I still can't find the password! First line down is an anagram of charmer, recharm, marcher and remarch, but none of these seem to have a Tolkien connection. ![]()

We have had ssome non standard passwords which had a link word...Saucy I think did one where itvwas Tol... so could it simply be Tolkien? Unless Ramcher is a discarded name gor an obscure character only featuring in a HoME footnote.

Great password anyway, Galadriel. It's always fun to have a change.

You have it, Mith. The password is Tolkien. That's also the straight clue to every single person on there. I haven't read any HOME books, though I've skimmed through a couple, and I wouldn't make the password that obscure.

Password: Dorthonion?

Deagol correct.
Dorthonion not. One day, galadriel, I may write a clue when a flower is a flower. Today is not that day.

Was thinking Nimrodel at first (when I thought Dorthonion was the password).

10. Dwarf took fright initially about direction before guided back to elf.
I think this is GLORFINDEL. GLOIN + F (initial of 'fright') + R mixed up (about), followed by LED (for guided) backwards.

Yep. Groin would work too with L for left.

I started with Fror (is there even a dwarf called Fror?) or it might have been Gror, and tried Groin but plumped for Gloin in the end ....

Well, I have two ideas for clue number three, but I can only justify half the clue with the answer in both cases. I can make the "elvish gem" part work, but not the "unendingly virtuous" part.
Unless - and this is a pretty long shot - "unendingly virtuous" could simply mean it doesn't need to have the ending letter of virtuous - the s - and Imrahil can be derived from Silmaril that way - but an L also has to turn into an H for that to happen. ![]()

Well, if a prince called Moramir existed, I would guess that - Moral loses the last letter and adds mir for jewel.

He doesn't but nevertheless the mir 3lement is correct. Wrong synonym.

The closest I can get is Aravir. Ara means royal/noble, and apparently mir is lenited to vir. However, the unending bit is not there.
