There's a VI from Brian Renken (a contributor on this list) that will try several million passwords per second to try to find the correct one. But even @ that rate, if you have no idea what the password is, it may take several thousand years to find it. You need to have some idea what the password is. For example, do you know: 1) how many characters there are? 2) are there both letters and numbers and special characters? 3) is there both upper and lower case?
If you know this, the test may be quite quick. For example, if there are both letters and numbers and special characters, a 4 letter password will take 5000 times less time to find than a 6 letter password. R. Glenn Givens P.Eng. Innovention Industries Inc. Burlington, ON, Canada www.innovin.com
