Answer: There are 1000 different passwords.

Explanation:

Given: A password contains three digits.

Number of digits from 0 to 9 = 10

Using fundamental principle of counting,

The number of different passwords = (Number of choices for digits) x (Number of choices for digits) x (Number of choices for digits)

= (10) x (10)x (10)

=1000

Hence, there are 1000 different passwords.
