A "strong" password suggestion for vMA 4 for non-English keyboard users

A "strong" password suggestion for vMA 4 for non-English keyboard users

This document is for those vMA 4/4.1 users who are facing problem creating passwords using a non-English keyboard.

If you're stuck like me by the stupid step at creating a strong password, here's a suggestion for a "strong" password to go through the first cycle of configuring vMA.  It is

sdfguiop

This password contains no number or special characters, so no need to press Shift key or go to the upper row of the keyboard.  All letters are the same case, so if you have unluckily or accidentally pressed the Shift-Lock and therefore inputted SDFGUIOP, you still can enter the password by trying to enable or disable the Shift-Lock at most 2 tries.  And most of all, all these letters are at the same positions in almost all keyboards whether you're using a French, a German or other keyboards.

NB: This document is a follow-up to my post at http://communities.vmware.com/thread/318603
