It depends on the length and complexity of the password used. Any combination of eight characters or less is sitting in a rainbow table you can download right now and is already cracked. Longer passwords without sufficient complexity will be cracked as well.

If you think you have outwitted a hacker by using l33t to come up with "70rchw00d", you deserve to be hacked. #BrokenRecord
