You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The number of possible passwords, since there are 26 letters and 20 digits, is 26%5E4%2A10%5E4. The probability of your friend choosing YOUR number is 1%2F%2826%5E4%2A10%5E4%29+. I would need a calculator to calculate this!! This is CERTAINLY a VERY SMALL decimal number!!
