    All my sites have been hacked twice in two days. I am wondering what is the best format for ftp passwords. I contacted the hackers via msn and they said that all numeric passwords are the best. What are your opinons?

    just numbers is the worst , depending on how many max characters you can have , there are less combinations.

    What I do to make passwords for important accounts is that I just randomly type something like "j32j5kJ", include numbers, letters, and capitalized letters if the password is case sensitive. Now never save that password on your computer, if you can't remember it write it down on a peace of paper, but never save it on your computer.
