Please elaborate.  Is there a local ICQ password on the HD that can be
poked at?  Do you know what the allowed character set is?  Or are you
talking about bruting the ICQ servers?  If it's the latter, 8 characters
can take a long, long time across a network, and that's assuming there is
no lockout feature.
