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.

And if there's a local password on the HD, it's usually in plain text in the
\icqdir\NewDB\[youruin].dat file, or something like that. If an ICQ password
parser is what you're talking about, there are plenty out there that already
exist.
