Weak passwords are:
- Numbers
- Letters
- NumbersLetters
- LettersNumbers
A good strong password is usually long (>8 characters), and consists of randomly alternating numbers and letters. Examples:
rt56tyi92k1e
9dfj3p203
And so on. With passwords, caps and small letters mean little. So doing something like hERo45 is still a weak password (as weak as hero45).

misspelling words in your password would help. Also adding numbers. EX: stronge5823467 or something like that. You are on the right track with the stronge thing.

If you are talking about online passwords, check out http://passwordmaker.org/ . It automatically makes and remembers secure passwords for you using a special hash algorithm.
My brother showed me this and now he has become one of the developers.

Minimum 8 characters, the longer the better. Include at least one upper-case letter, one lower-case letter, one number and one special symbol such as @ or !. Pass "phrases" are easy to remember and hard to guess; take the first letter of each word of a sentence and fit it into the requirements above.
For example... my "pass phrase" is "I don't want a hacker to steal my password."
You'd enter it as:

Add a series of numbers that are easy for you to remember but hard for another to guess also use a word that is easy for you to remember and mix the cases of each letter

Write down the most random combination of numbers and letters that you can think of and then write it out a whole bunch of times to remember it.

Use a word other than your name and use a sequence of numbers that you can easily remember. If you want to make it even stronger use capital letters, space it, whatever makes it harder for another person to memorize.
