Monkey? Well, like the saying goes, everyone loves monkeys, I guess...

If you look at your keyboard, you will see qazwsx is the fist two letter rows diagonally down (three and three). I guess it would seem like a strong enough password. I do know of qwerty. In the mid-90's, it was a BBS sysop's master password. I know because he told me when he made me co-sysop.

Ah, ok. Yeah, WOULD seem like a strong password, but since it's common, I guess not. (Maybe ik,ol. would work? )
