      Not that I would! But this is very dependent on what the account is for.

      Either way there are brute force ways of gaining access. Automated programs will automatically try every combination of characters until it gets the right one. AAAA AAAB AAAC etc. Takes a very long time though and there are ways to stop this.

      Note: This is highly illegal, would not recommend. 😛
