Using a phrase is far easier to remember than a password, and with 127 characters at your disposal, you can easily use it.
For example, the paragraph above could be used as a pass phrase, and fit in with the requirements. Of course, you'd need to be a good typist to ensure that you could type that blind correctly, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
For password systems that don't need as much, you can initialise the letters instead. So you'd end up with Uapifetotapaw1caydyceui. Looks like gibberish, but if you remember your phrase correctly, it's easy to type in.
Just don't use common things e.g. telephone numbers, or (especially) lyrics from songs; several people will be able to complete 'alltaicsrhtmutmms' -- it's as easy as pie. But if you've got something you can remember (and hey, be positive; I'm getting better in every way in every day or something) will give you the best of both worlds.
