Hmm... I didn't notice in the question that they can be 1−10 digits, my answer was for 10-digit password. But, well, for 10-digit password, you have 10 choices for the first digit while on the succeeding digits, you can still repeat the digits so the answer is not 10! but 10×10×10×10×10×10×10×10×10×10=1010
