I was browsing a book about testing/breaking embedded systems a few weeks back and one of the top 30 passwords is "Michael"

No idea why!

Michael

was once being demonstrated software and the salesman whilst wittering on about enterprise support accidentally typed his password into the username field and thus showed all on the call his password was:

b!g8oY69

i have a screen shot to prove it....at east the password is reasonably secure

we didn't purchase.
