I am not coming up with anything on the first one, but the second one would be a river.

I won't give the answer to the first for a bit in case some want to guess
3. A man wanted to encrypt his password but he needed to do it in a way so that he could remember it. He had to use seven characters consisting of letters and numbers only (no symbols like! or <). In order to remember it, he wrote down "you force heaven to be empty," What is his password?

answer to the first one is
Joseph and Lena were goldfishes. the wind tipped their bowl over hence killing them.

I don't care for the third one either, but I got it.
4. I'd take the starving lions. If for years they'd already have died.

you read the answer Beth!!!
5 This is relatively easy
Arnold Schwarzenegger has a long one. Michael J Fox has a short one. Madonna does not use hers. Bill Blinton always uses his. The Pope never uses his... What is it?

I cheated and googled it. I never would have gotten it otherwise.

I haven't looked at the answer yet so don't know just did and it doesn't make sense
this is the only number that includes all the digits arranged in alphabetical order
how can digits be in alphabetical order?
7 the last one and it is detailed!!!
A man is headed to a mountain along with a lion, a goat and a basket of vegetables. On the way, he needs to cross a river and the boat can only carry two things at a time. If he take the vegetables, the lion will eat the goat. If he takes the lion, the goat will eat the vegetables. How does he cross the river?

If you spell out each number, it makes sense. The first letter of each number (ie; eight starts with "e", etc,), and put those words in alphabetical order.
I can't figure out that last one.

Barbie I was hoping that you could so I could just say right!!!
Trip 1: He takes the goat with him, leaving the lion and the vegetables behind. On reaching the other river bank., he drops off the goat..
Trip 2: He then comes back for the lion, leaving the vegetables behind. On reaching the bank this time, he drops the lion, and again takes the goat along.
Trip 3: He drops off the goat again and takes the vegetables with him to the other shore
Trip 4: Lastly, he comes back along for the goat...
what a lot of work but admire him for figuring out away to do it..
that is the last of them
