In hackers' view finding someone's password is not hacking, its cracking. Hacking is the real stuff, making your machine work in your way. Cyberdude was right, using BruteForce you would have to check eveything one by one. If you consider the permutation of the letters in your dictionary and implement the Brute Force searching technology to find the password. Good Luck... The number of candidate in your case is 4.03291461 × 10^26 or 40.329 millions quadrillion, that means let your computer do the job and it will take you 5.32262047 × 10^10 years or 53.22 billion years provided that your computer is P4 2.4 GHz. Wanna start hacking my password now??? I don't think so....
