"... 4 numbers and 4 letters combined together" implies that any of the 8 characters chosen could be in any of the 8 positions. So...

(1) Choose 4 of the 6 letters in C(6,4) = 15 ways
(2) Choose 4 of the 6 digits in C(6,4) = 15 ways
(3) Order the 8 characters in 8! = 40320 ways

Number of different passwords: 15*15*40320 = 9072000

ANSWER: 9072000
