There are many ways of generating passwords that are easy to remember 
and hard to guess. Here are a couple of examples; be creative.

You could move your fingers off the "home keys" (ASDF/JKL;) to 
QWER/UIOP. Then a password "E.Gapova" becomes "#lTq-0fq" -- easily typed 
and remembered, but hard to guess.

On my laptop, there's no separate number pad, so if I turn on "num 
lock," some of the regular keyboard becomes numbers and math operators. 
Thus, with num lock on, the password "E.Gapova" becomes "E.Ga*6va".

I don't know if the ASEEES system will accept non-Western characters, 
but "Е.Гапова" would be easy to remember but hard to guess outside of 
Russia. Or if you typed "Е.Гапова" using the English keyboard, you'd get 
"T/Ufgjdf" -- again, easy to type, hard to guess.
