Aragorn got bored watching Gandalf try to figure out the password and wandered off, as he is wont to do, and accidentally tripped on a little critter lying on the path. The little creature was so annoyed at this that it magically tranformed itself into an orc 17 feet tall (its second form). In terror, Aragorn started blubbering and begging it not to eat him. Disgusted at the pathetic show this "valiant" man was putting on, the giant orc told him the password and threw him back toward his companions. It then transformed back to the little furry creature and swam off into the lake. Aragorn told the password to Merry, the first person he came across, and Merry in turn suggested it to Gandalf. Aragorn never told anyone about his run-in with the furry orc-creature, but Merry often wondered why Aragorn had told him the password instead of just telling it directly to Gandalf.
