at first this looks like 10 letter + digits, so the number of possible combinations are
10 ^(26 + 10) = 10^36
But notice that the letters all come from the right half of the keyboard, which is not that uncommon. So the attacker could have tried
10 ^(26/2 + 10) = 10^23
passwords, which is really not that secure. But then again, the password starts with 01 so this would show up very early in an exhaustive search.
And given these characteristics, chances are the hash was already in someones rainbow tables.
