Weak-ass password doesn't even contain special characters. Also, oddly limited to Earth Arabic numerals in a universe with hundreds of sentient alien species.

I may be missing the sarcasm, but including dashes and spaces, it's 83 characters longs. It's effectively unbreakable.

That depends on the system and whether it immediately responds to the challenge with a failure or locks out after a number of incorrect responses.

If LCARS is programmed to just immediately respond that the password is wrong then the real password could probably be brute force guessed in a matter of seconds given the computers in the 24th century...

Given the computers of the 24th century sure, but with modern computers...
