How do I make a HASH (#) ascii character???

[Oxymoron]

Hi,
I have just bought an apple iBook with OS X, and love it.
However, there is no hash ascii character (#) on the keyboard and i need one for my university password.

Any ideas how i can make one without copying it from a document?

any and all suggestions welcome!!

cheers, oxy
