The number of ways in which first two characters each can be chosen from 26 letters is ( 1 2 6 ) .
The last three characters can be chosen from the digits { 0 , 1 , … , 9 } in ( 3 1 0 ) ways.
And their various permutations will amount to
3 ! × ( 3 1 0 ) .
Therefore, total number of possible passwords is
( 1 2 6 ) × ( 1 2 6 ) × 3 ! × ( 3 1 0 )
⇒ 4 8 6 7 2 0
