The longer your password, the harder it would be to force it.

Worried about brute force algorithms? Use a longer password.

At your speed, it'll take 2 years to brute force a password consisting of length 6, consisting of only alphabets. Increase the length, add numbers etc, and you're talking about ages.

Adding to that, brute forcing over internet is VERY different from on your local machine. Can your computer send 5 different passwords in 1 second, getting the response from the server, and dealing with the response(in GW case, automating hitting 'OK' to the message box)? I doubt it.
