Most likely that prompt was written by some Indian or Korean programmer that does not really speak English. And many registration "numbers" have letters of the alphabet in them. With digits only they have to use a lot of digits to make a secure number. With letters that are case sensitive they have 26 letters x 2 for each space. 27 x 2 is you count the & and a tone more if you allow all the characters on a standard keyboard.
It always bugs me when I am prompted for my "PIN Number" It is just a PIN not a personal identification number number.
