~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She can use any of 26 lowercase letters and/or 10 numerals (digits) in every of 12 positions.


So, she has 26+10 = 36 different symbols to use in any position, and there are no any other restrictions.


Hence, the number of all possible passwords she may have or may create is  36%5E12.    ANSWER
