I HATE... being fooked over....

It's not a HD password, it's a firmware password.

ahhh. shit. must have missed that.

I'm guessing you already tried the most common/easy passwords? 123456, 111111, 666666, 999999, 000000, etc?

Or maybe your device automatically has some sort of algorithm rather than a linear traversal from 000000-999999?

It's Linear... I can start it from whatever I decide... BUT... it still has to go through the combinations... so it's Pot luck really

The issue is Apple sets a time limit before a new code can be tried... and that's what takes the time

6 digit pass code is going to be a birthday, so it's going to start with either 0, 1 or 2. 1 being the average, and it taking 20 days to go through each of the starting numbers, I reckon somewhere between 20 and 40 days. So I'm guessing 28 Days Later.

Outside chance it could be a 3 at the start too I guess.

 

[Arcademan]

100 days and it'll end up being a birthday date backwards.

4 days. I'm optimistic. Also does this pawn shop ship to Ireland and have any sweet deals at the mo? Nothing in particular in mind, just love a bargain.

My numerical passwords are never birthdays. I like to go with my favorite KOF games in random order. 96, 98, and 02. Sometimes I mix up the numbers too. Maybe he was a fan. Try KOF combos!

I can ship anywhere in the world... but as you know by now I'm lazy...

I owe Wasabi a bottle of whisky... some confectionary... and other stuffs... (Yup... still sitting on my living room floor...)
I owe gum_drops some pics and quotes for stuff...
I owe Ren Chan some pics and quotes for stuffs...
I owe Tak a game I ordered of ebay for him and other stuffs... (2 months I've had that damn game on my shelf...)
etc etc etc...

I picture a cat that needs to go to a box to poo, but just does it on the carpet because that's closer.

The struggle is real.

 

[Speed3]

31 days, hopefully it goes better than expected

 

[frazer99]

84 days Rot.....and Rochdale....you're still on the wrong side of the Pennines!

 

[Tung Fu ru]

I'll play the guessing game: How about 75 days?

 

[neo_mao]

176 days

 

[DNSDies]

I'll get in on this:

42 days.
Because Hitchhiker's Guide.

 

[pulstar]

I'm going for 112 days.

 

[neojedi]

I don't want to be in the running for this one because I'm fresh from the money pile win, so this one is for posterity only: 137 days

 

[FAT$TACKS]

28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds.

 

[mainman]

Is a brute force method viable if you have to run the MAC for over a hundred days. I mean can you run the MAC that long continuously and what if you have power lost do you have to start over.

 

[Ip Man]

going to say 32 days.

 

[Neo Ash]

13 days.

 

[madman]

I'll play the guessing game: How about 75 days?

SEARCH. FUNCTION.

If you look at the device he posted, it's external and running independent of the Mac. If there is a power outage, I'm guessing it will just sit and wait for the machine to get turned back on so it can resume. Looks like a pretty nice device, actually. Probably good to have in the pawn business.

 

[Xian Xi]

What model is it? I might want it.

 

[Xian Xi]

Oh and I would guess 23 days.

 

[fenikso]

I'll get in on this:

42 days.

Question: How many days must a machine try passwords?
Answer: 42

My guess is 50 since DNSDies took the one I was gonna use.
