Well.....
Almost the first thing on any hacker / cracker / spook / whomever list are
things like spouse or significant other name, children's names, birthdays,
names of popular TV or movie stars, things like "God" and "topdog" "master"
and stuff like that. If you have a picture of your beautiful new car
displayed prominently in your workspace, the make or model are always part
of the guessing game.
Once in a while there are published lists of the top 100 passwords. Strong
recommendation is not to use any of them, as the hackers will generally try
these first.
If anyone remembers the movie War Games, there is an interesting little
sidelight about guessing passwords. Another film, I believe it was Clear and
Present Danger, maybe? had an interesting scene with one of the spooks
hacking someone's workstation.
Last couple of Cisco training classes I have attended did use passwords
cisco and san-fran ( with the dash ) as user and enable passwords
respectively.

"cisco" and "sanfran" are only standard passwords in cisco classrooms.
In real life - there are no such thing as standard passwords.

Hi colleagues,
do you know what the Cisco standard passwords are ? As far as I remember,
they are 'cisco' and 'sanfran', but I am not sure (also not sure about
lower/upper case).
Thanks for your help in advance.
