Pru has had, over the years, lots of massive internal rearrangements of
staff. Not to mention general comings and goings. The chances of a tech
It person still being where they were three years ago is low. 

Unless you are very lucky you will draw a blank. IMO the best option
short of tech ones, would be to go back up your supply chain and try and
track down a name or three.

Of course another option is to set your students the task writing a
program that tests all possible passwords...
