Welll

 

Capial letter = 26   little letters = 26    digits = 10       That it  62 possible characters for each of the 10 digit field.

 

So there will be    62^10 possibilities = approx    8.39*10^17

 

It will most likely take a while to guess the correct combination   LOL    :))

If repeats are allowed, then we the upper case letters=26^26. The same applies to lower case letters=26^26. For the 10 digits, we have 10^10. So, you would multiply all these together: (26^26)^2 X 10^10=3.7897808 X 10^83.

 

CPhill: please verify this.Thanks.
