Actually it's less then 4096 values:
a-z, A-Z, some other chars, more like 2-3000. This is why you use MD5
passwords (RedHat, etc support it) or Blowfish (OpenBSD). Also using
something like MD5 significantly increases the amount of time an attacker
needs to brute force the passwords (MD5 is slooooooooow).
