Can anyone recommend a brute force password tool for use with a web page,
ftp or telnet account? I would like to demonstrate to my developers the
amount of time it takes to get into a system with weak passwords and zero

You should be able to find any number of brute force tools for many
protocols there, including telnet, http, smtp and others.

Of course, your brute force attack is only as good as your dictionary.
May I also suggest the CERIAS ftp archive for putting together a nice
dictionary for brute force attacks.
