I would go from the position that our database had been compromised, and thus would have as long as I wanted to break it. Changing your password wouldn't change anything, since we would be assuming that you wouldn't know an attack was taking place, and therefore have no reason to worry.

I will start trying next week. If I do crack it I'll PM you with it first and let you change it before I do anything else :-)
Edit: the password for this forum. I'm not attacking Google!
