You are afraid that you won't have access to a strong password in case of emergency and therefore you choose to use a weak password? That doesn't make sense to me.

Wouldn't a better solution be to use a password manager and always have a current and working copy on you when you go out? I'm pretty sure it's doable and can be automated. Keepass + Dropbox being one possibility but you can make it more robust if you feel the need to.

Reuse of passwords is a much worse alternative than not being able to fix someone's server on the spot.
