However, we are also told that the digits should not repeat. Therefore, after determining a number for the first digit we cannot use this number for the other digits. This means that after each digit we will reduce the number of choices by one.

|---|---|
| Number of Choices for the Second Digit | 9 |
| Number of Choices for the Third Digit | 8 |
| Number of Choices for the Fourth Digit | 7 |
| Number of Choices for the Fifth Digit | 6 |
Because we have the number of possible outcomes of each event, we will use the Fundamental Counting Principle to find the maximum number of different passwords. 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 = 30 240 The maximum number of choices for the password is 30 240, so the correct option is G.
