First answer - you don't. You need to set passwords you can remember but
that are difficult enough not to be easily hacked/guessed. My suggestion is
that in the future you make up a phrase (that you can remember) in your
head - then either using the first couple of letter from each word or the
whole phrase and substituting numbers in for some letters (like zero's for
O's or 1's for I's or 3's for E's or something similar - your substitution
is your choice.) - use that as your new password. Remember - in Windows XP
you have a LOT of characters to lplay with as far as a password goes.. You
could easily have a 100 character password - although I do NOT recommend
it - as typing that might get tiresome.

Having said that...
