Compute the number of passwords for the problem below along with how long it would take to test such password if it takes 1 nanosecond to test a password. Report the times in hours.
-Passwords using the word ‘password’ with different uses of upper case and lower case letters, and also allowing for a substitution of a number for the letters such as ‘96553014’; each letter is uniquely represented by a number, e.g., p can be replaced with 9 but with no other number. Basically, we have 3 choices per letter in ‘password’. No reordering allowed.
