You need passwords with WWNN without repeating the letters or numbers
---
so there are 26 words to choose from, after the first word, there are 25 words left to choose. There are 10 one digit number 0 to 9, but after you select the first number there are 9 choices left.
--
So WWNN = 26*25*10*9 = 58500, but.... (and there is always a but)
--
there are 4! ways to rearrange these 2 letters adn 2 numbers, creating different passwords from the "same" letters and numbers.
--
so the number of different passwords is 4!*26*25*10*9=1404000
