Pick a song book that you like, then pick a song, along with its page number. Use the page number and the first letters of the song's title words as your password. This is something that you can always look up if you forget it, and it is very unlikely that anyone else could figure out what your password is, as they might if you write it down on a note and hide it somewhere.
