From memory anything about 10,000 is considered fine, but I've usually got for numbers with significance by stringing together birthday dates with a random number to join them. So, take Australia day (26th of the 1st Month and go) 26901 for webmin :) Or takes the ages of two people and another number (or the age of a place you work or live or something). Hope it helps.
