Yeah most virus' run massive barrages of attempts to hack a password, but a 10 digit number has millions of variants that would take an abnormally long time to crack. Even if you knew the 10 numbers it would take a crazy long time.

10 numbers you dont know is 10^9=100,0000,000. on my computer this would take about an hour to work out

If you knew the numbers in it that would be more like 10X9X9=810 which would take a matter of seconds to calculate. (not sure if this is one is right, fairly certain not 100%. been on holiday too long for math:))

So either way not too hard to get, just sit outside your house with a laptop and im into your network

it would be nice if routers had a failsafe like ATM's that if you enter the password 3 times incorrect it would block the user from trying again and would need a backup password to unblock it

and then 90% of all PC users would lock themselves out of their routers the first time they tried to access it. an optional feature of that design would be just dandy.
