hmmm.. they don't seem to really explain the rules of the game here. Doesn't the length of time it takes to crack a password depend on the rate at which you are allowed to try different guesses at the password prompt, and whether or not you get locked out or penalized with delays after a certain number of wrong guesses?

When they say it takes 48 minutes to "crack" my password are they assuming some specific rate at whichever the system they are trying to log in to responds to failed login attempts?
