 Has anyone ever tried to connect to the Protovision Game Server? There's zero security, at first glance, with only about a five-letter password...that wouldn't crack under 1600ghz of processor. It wouldn't surrender a single letter...do I need to just leave the BFcracker and go order a pizza, or is it really uncrackable? If so, that would beg the question, "is this one of the Game Bibles' many secrets?"

The password can be found out without a password breaker. Go down to your video store and rent WarGames.
I'm not paranoid, they really ARE out to get me!!!

yep you could do that, because it the same password as in that movie, but you could also just look around on this forum, because you can also find the password around this forum! (which i didn't need, because i already knew tha password a long tim before i even entered this forum for the first time)

I thought you said you saw the movie, if so then you should know what happens.  IMDB might help if you don't feel like renting the movie.  :)

 Well I just checked the 'net...that can't be the password, can it? That was the name of the AI, would the password be its own name...?!

That was the pass in the movie for the backdoor.  Try it and see what happens.  :)

The password breaker works if you leave it for 90 minutes...

There is one of two secret awords.
You must know secret password, becouse password breakr can't break thi password.
