Seems you have to register/log in to read that page.....

Choose a password between 8 and 12 chars.  It must contain at least one
numeral (0-9) and one lower case letter (a-z) no special chars and not
contain the word password.  I think I'll pass, thankyouverymuch.

Putting restrictions like that on password choices makes it much easier
to crack them: You know length limits, and have character restrictions,
severely limiting choices.
