    That's impossible, some piece of computer coded software could eventually, given enough time, find your password if allowed.  Experts at IBM and other firms can usually get most people's passwords within ten guesses (or at least what it might be).

    From my experience, you password should not be:

    Your name
    Your address
    Your previous address
    Your school
    Your current or ex-girlfirned
    Your favourite word
    Your favourite foreign word (they have dictionaries!)
    Your home town
    Your pets name
    Your favourite band or its album or song.
    Your favourite movie or an actors name

    If you are going to create a strong password, you are actually going to have to choose something that is both difficult to guess and difficult to remember.  A random combination of letters and numbers is the only way to ensure a very safe password, no one could guess and even a computer would take a long time trying to try all the combinations of letters and numbers possible.
