This is funny. I was totally ignorant of Brian's solution when I created my own password cracker. Perhaps we can make this a LabVIEW coding challenge? Create the fastest VI password cracker?

It uses VI server and brute force to cycle through characters combinations. If you at least remember how many characters and if they were all letters, you might have a reasonable shot at getting it. If you don't remember anything about it, you're probably just as well of time wise to rebuild it from scratch. There's just too many possible combinations to make this quick. If you want to give a try, you can download the tool from his website. http://labview.brianrenken.com/downloads.shtm
