    ABC, ABD, ACB, ACD, ADB, ADC, BAC, BAD, BCA, BCD, BDA, BDC,

    3 slots

    4 letters

    4 choices for the first slot

    3 choices for 2nd (since we used one for the first slot)

    2 choices for the 3rd slot (since we used another for 2nd slot)

    so total number of passwords is 4*3*2=24 passwords
