huh.. just tried something similar to one of my passwords, all lowercase, all letters, of course my real password has a couple of numbers in it.
780 quintillion years 20 character password all lowercase - 97billion years 11character password all lowercase 314 years huh... the password -- 0987654321aaaaaa -1 billion years aaaaaaaaaaaa - 12 years to hack so much for the password rules. then again my password would not work on a unix system. Are unix systems still only 8 characters. it looks like any 8 character password can be hacked in less than a week.
