Formulas can be good, but they need to be fairly complicated to be good.

Group of servers gets assigned a "Magic word"
Delimiter used IE: $
Date string, in a different format IE 17-Nov-1987


Filnstones$17-Nov-1987$  Would make for a pretty good password, but still
one that you could remember.

Keep the Magic word the same, change the date string every month.  This is
fairly complex and still manageable.




Good luck,
