an easily remembered word.

To you, maybe. To me it's not even recognizable.

dillydally--

but some systems(networks) won't let you use a password that has already assigned characters in a password, so @ is out; its used in email, and / is out; (file system command, and * is out, too.. depending on your system, and network other characters may be off limits too.

you can use dr bill's common mistake, and miss home row.. so instead of having your fingers on ASDF and JKL:, offset them to WERTand IOP[, and then just type something simple, like hello (obviously, this only words if you are touch typist, not a hunt and peck one.)
