My current default Virgin WPA password is roughly of the form lLlllNllllll (l - lowercase letter, L - uppercase letter, N - number), installed about a year ago, and I know from seeing another one that the position and quantity of the uppercase letters and numbers aren't fixed.

For the benefit of people whose fonts render "l" to look like "|", that's:

L U L L L N L L L L L L

(L - lowercase letter, U - uppercase letter, N - number)
