Password Bird is a simple website that asks you three questions then generates a password for you based on your responses. Every password it generated for me included numbers and letters. If you don't like the password it generates for you, simply click the link for a new password.
Applications for Education
Password Bird is a great tool to have students try when they can't think of their own computer passwords. This is a particularly handy tool when students have to create passwords that include numbers.

Thanks Mr. Byrne, security is a big issue for students and adults. Your post supports the old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" (Ben Franklin).
Another site: http://www.goodpassword.com/ Those with Common Access Card (CACs) can install a card reader or fingerprint readers.
But the bottom line, the human factor is the biggest risk to COMPUSEC (computer security). If it is man made it can be hacked.
