Can someone PLEASE help me crack this code?

My husband changed our password. But he forgot what it is. There is no other way to retrieve this info is to remember the password. This password is not for a website, so no email reminders.

Its 4 digit. The first 3 digits are 2,5,8 (but might not be in this sequence) each number was keyed in only once. The last and fourth number is either a 1,4 or a 7. How many possible sequence could there be and what are they? Please help. Thanks!

    Hi 1989:) I have read the article and it is interesting. I don't feel qualified to judge it's value one way or the other but I am just a tad uneasy about it's (apparent) implication that Jerusalem should be somehow more significant than other sites in the mystery of the universe. I mean, what about Stonehenge or my favorite spot in the woods? Perhaps I read too much into the article and it's just my knee jerk reaction about the "chosen people" stereotype? Could be. MY bad, in that case. I do feel that some places seem to be somehow "different" than others for reasons that are not clear and that it's desirable to keep an open mind. I'd also like to point out to those who seem to feel that Sir Isaac Newton would be somehow "above" such an idea that he was known to be very interested in Alchemy, something that would be considered a pseudo-science today. For anyone who ever looked at the visible light spectrum and had a hard time finding indigo....don't feel bad. It doesn't exist. Sure, there IS a hue we call indigo but it's just a shade of blue folks. Newton stuck it in because the number 7 had great significance in the "magic" of alchemy. So, I still can't comment on the validity of the article due to my ignorance but I wouldn't discount it entirely and I can easily believe it of Newton (who obviously WAS a brilliant man) so I take it seriously and think it deserves further thought.

    Hi,

    Given you know what the first three digits can be and the last digit can only be one of three possibilities then there really is not that many to test. 18 possibilities. You deduct that based on the fact the first 3 digits can only be changed to 2 other possible locations, thus 3 x 2 = 6; Now the last digit can be three possible outcomes, hence 6 x 3 = 18 Possibilities.
