Pick a password that is a combination of letters and numbers. It needs to be somethting only you would think of. the more numbers you put in there the harder it will be to guess, but it will also be harder to memorize. Someone could easily hack a password like "georgia", but it would be hard for them to guess "ga97163". Write it down and hide it in a super secure place for about a week or two. If you forget the password just refrence the sheet you wrote it down on, but after two weeks is up you must destroy the piece of paper to ensure noone else finds it. A good tactic is to use the same password or simple variations for everything. That way you will never forget it! To be ultra secure change the password every month or so.

Depending on how long the password d is will determine how complex you can get. For example you can't do much with a 4 digit password, but you can make it meaningful to you such that only you would easily remember the numbers. For long chains it is best to use a random idea and then add special symbols to represent numbers or letters, switch numbers for letters, switch letters for numbers and change the case in random places.

Always make passwords at least 13 to 15 characters long with both numbers and letters mixed.

Why are you asking the whole population of the internet?
It's like... asking a hacker to read this and figure out your password!
Oh, and if you want to pick a password, think of a phrase that you can easily remember, something that's around your desk area that will jog your memory.

Try using a combination of numbers and letters upper and lower case jumbled up - this is the sort of thing Microsoft recommend.

use the letter 'O' instead of zero and vice verse.
or use your fav password but change one of the letter to CAP and then add the last two digit of your borthday.

use your personal code name for something. everyone has something they call by another name (or is it just me?) anyway, change the spelling and throw in a number & there you go!
