Answer: 21528000 choices

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 26 letters of the alphabet and no alphabet is to be used more than once,

then the first letter can be chosen in 26ways

Second letter can be chosen im 25ways

Third letter can be chosen in 24ways

Fourth letter can be chosen in 23ways.

Since we can only use even digits, then the even digits we have are "0,2,4,6,8"

Then the first digit can be chosen in 5ways

Second digit can be chosen in 4ways

Third digit can be chosen in 3ways.

Total number of choices for this pass word = 26*25*24*23*5*4*3 = 21528000 choices
