Turn the wheels to 0, then focus on the first wheel. 0000, 1000 ect.
Afterwards, the second wheel. 0100, 0200 ect.
Third wheel. 0010, 0020 ect.
Fourth wheel. 0001, 0002 ect.
First and second wheels. 1100, 1200, 2100 ect. (Do this by turning one wheel at a time. Makes it less confusing)
First and third wheels, 1010, 1020, 2010 ect.
First and fourth. 1001, 1002 2001 ect.
Second and third. 0110, 0120, 0210 ect.
Second and fourth. 0101, 0201 ect.
Third and fourth. 0011, 0021 ect.
First, second, third wheels. 1110, 1210, 1220, 2110 ect. (One at a time.)
First, second, fourth. 1101, 1102, 2201 ect.
First, third, fourth. 1011, 2011, 1202 ect.
Second, third, fourth. 0123, 0345 ect.
All. 1234, 2342, 3455, 4657, 9876 ect.
You can select 9 numbers for the first digit, 8 numbers for the second digit, and 7numbers for the third digit; so 504 (e.g. 9*8*7) different three digit numbers can be written using the digits 1 through 9.
The first digit of your password can be any of the six numbers. As repetition is allowed so can the second, third and fourth so total possibilities is 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 ie 1296
9999
10999
First digit can be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Second through Fourth digit can be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Total number of passwords = 9 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 9,000 If no digit can be repeated in a password, then the possibilities are 9 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 4,536
Using the digits of 1345678, there are 210 three digit numbers in which no digit is repeated.
