passw0rd
A password that I have used was my first name. XP
why, "qwerty" of course
my first password was
Code:
p0d1s^SuPeR^l33t
worstpassword
Not 100% sure, but it was most likely "bluegreen" or something tough like that.
As a consultant, I came across more than one client system with variations on "password". Some examples "p@ssw0rd", "p@55w0rd", etc. These clients included both government and private entities; the passwords were used on data containing financial and personal data including social security numbers, addresses, and account numbers.
I changed them where allowed - and kept a CYA paper trail of my denied requests where I couldn't.

My first password used on the internet was "ruchruch"
Totally secure, right?

made me remember my first password, a stunning one for its military grade security: "4besos" (translates to "4kisses").
Do you remember the first password you've ever used (and presumably the worst one at the same time)?
Yup, the very first password I ever created when I first got my own internet connection, little did I know it happened to be identical to a part number of a popular ham radio component. I never played with ham radios.
When I was playing around with cracking tools (I think it was jtr) and it was quickly cracked, I was shocked to see it was in the dictionary and when I investigated, the dictionary had been made from an electronic parts catalog.
Granted by today's standards it is way too short even without being in a dictionary (7 alphanumeric characters) but still.
