What's up with these?

Those are the only ones I saw that didn't look like obvious passwords.
They both get Google results, especially VQsaBLPzLa. My guesses are:
they came from a random password generator seeded with the same seed, or
they are just random passwords used repeatedly by some bot.

This is strange too (they were adjacent in your list):

c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b:1

Do people calculate the MD5 sum of the password they were going to use,
and then use that for a password? Or did phpBB hash it twice for some
reason?
