"3. Pissed someone off enough to brute-force crack your password (take a lot of time)."

I approve of this.

Psycho0124:
Never use a word from any language as a password. It'll pretty much prevent this kind of brute force password cracking. The first thing an cracking application usually does is run through a dictionary trying common words. I use a 12 character alpha-numeric password for all my stuff. I did the math once and for a program trying a randomly generated password once a second (much faster than most authentications over the net), it would take on average 31 thousand years of 24/7 attempts (one every second) to come up with mine.
