Assuming digits, prob. of digit is 1/10

Assuming letters, prob of letter is 1/52

Assuming lowercase or uppercase, prob of letter is 1/26

For example, the password is 3fds66

You know it has only lowercase letters.

You know the amount of letters and numbers.

P(guessing the password)= 1/10*1/26*1/26*1/26*1/10*1/10=1/1757600
