==== Choosing a password ====
There are many online resources to help you choose a good password, and we suggest that you do some research into the subjet to assure that your password is as secure as possible.

 **UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE** should one of the following passwords be used:

  * root
  * admin
  * pass
  * password
  * 123456
  * qwerty
  * abc123
  * (your name)

Also, A basic hacker tactic is to run a program that tries every word in the dictionary as a password (called a dictionary attack). So just because your password may be long, if it is a word, then it may be quickly hacked.

A password should contain a **mixture of ASCII numbers and letters**, in both upper and lower case. The password should also be long, yet easy to remember. 

For example, a good password could be:

  gandivirtualserver

Though a better password would be:

  Gand1V1rtual3erver
