OK, Rainman may be able to memorise such a password. But remember that
Rainman will also have to enter this password every time he wants to log
in and perhaps every time the screen is locked.

You should rather ask yourself whether you don't need a password for one
or the other, the security of which is at best at the level of 1234. The
child lock on my washing machine is to hold down two buttons for a few
seconds and my oven has no child lock at all. Small children can stick
the cat in the oven and switch it on. Seriously, the oven should be
safer than logging into a Windows that is only needed for a firmware
update every few years.
