Well, I guess it can never be fast enough to be done in reasonable time, at least not that example (72 possible characters, 10 characters word length). Even if we speed things up 1000 times, we are still talking about too much time, in this case 14000 years. So I guess there is no obvious way to crack the password in reasonable time.
