It never works like this (except in films). Supposing a brute force password script (you can find it in Python everywhere) can try 10 passwords per minute.

I was able to do 10, manually. I bet a script could try thousands a minute, or more.

You can bet it but you can’t know it.
And even if true, it would still require years, just to find one account’s pwd. The numbers are simply not there to support such hacking scheme.
