You may get lucky and find it by exhaustive search, but the space of possible 8-character passwords made of printable ASCII characters is big: 95^8 = 6634204312890625.
At an average rate of 17.5 million guesses per second, that could take as long as 105304 hours, or 12 years. A password only 6 characters long could meanwhile be found in 11 hours.

RE: HELP - Reset Root Password - mosca - 05-17-2025

You can always throw in more power... On the gpu, it is is doing about 6bilion guesses/second Smile

Yeah I don't have that kind of hardware handy at the moment

RE: HELP - Reset Root Password - varomix - 05-17-2025

cool, thanks everyone for trying to help out.

RE: HELP - Reset Root Password - mosca - 05-17-2025

It went through 1-7 char passwords, including special characters, but the full 8 char password is going to take a while...
