another possibility is use of a dictionary. Find a word in dictionary note page column and line. Divide pages in dictionary by 2 and either add or subtract that number of pages to or from page word is found on then on the new page find the column and line for your actual password. Of course, you write the first word you looked up down as your password and not the second word you just found you use for your real password.
