also some systems that force you to change your password people change it like...thomas1, thomas2, thomas3. so even though the system forces them to change their password, it essentially stays the same for them.

the completely obvious
using the word "password" as the password.
using their login as their password.
no password, (if the system allows it)
default passwords. like linksys routers u:admin, p:admin

guessing pins
if you ever need to get in a secure building, no doubt someone's code is 1111, or 1234, or something equally obvious.

people reuse the same passwords.
If you a person's password for one thing, you probably have the password for their other stuff
if you get access to someone's email, you can search for the word password and find other passwords.

There are oher low tech ways of getting passwords:
social engineering: asking them under a false pretext where they trust you.
Shoulder surfing: watch them type it in over their shoulder or with a camera.
also people write their passwords down all the time. especially on post it notes.

There are also more high tech ways of getting passwords.
key catchers: capture all keystrokes. hardware and software versions are available.
trojan horses, phishing, etc.
