The more characters that are used, the harder it is to hack into. Look at it this way: if one were to use only letters, that's 26 possibilities for each digit. Adding numbers makes it 36.

Password must Be 6 and 10 alpha numeric characters?

If a website (or other password-protected something or other) tells you that you must have a password of 6 to 10 alphanumeric characters, that means that your chosen password must be at least 6, but no more than 10, characters, which can be letters or numbers. "Alphanumeric" means letters and numbers, but not punctuation or other characters. So, "pass" would be too short, "thisismyabsurdlylongpassword" would be too long, and "@#*&@$!^" would not work because it's not alphanumeric. "P4ssw0rd" would be between 6 and 10 alphanumeric characters, although you should choose something less easy to guess than that.

Not all systems will take symbols, so Aggie80 would be a fair alphanumeric password, (No, I don't use it!) it would be considered 'stronger' if it had at least 8 characters. So WikiAggie80 would be pretty good. It sure wouldn't appear in any dictionary!
