Mix it up - Combine both upper and lower case letters and throw in some numbers, and if you are feeling really tech savvy, add in a special character (or two)  The exponentially strengthens your password.

Don't make it personal - Avoid using birthdays, addresses, or phone numbers as part of your password, it will just make it easier for the attackers to guess your password.
