Some of the other ones are puzzling. "trustno1" is from the X-Files, but does anyone know where "letmein" came from?

I got that, but is there something that made that a popular password? It seems like too much of a coincidence that so many people use it.

I don't think it's a reference to anything, simply that you're saying to the computer "let me in!"

I'm not sure, but I think it was a movie or something.
