How long would this take?

22,726,578,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 TOTAL POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS

62 different characters are being used in the 32 characters key.

Any thoughts?

There are 62^32 different combinations. You need to tell me how long it will take to check one combination.

Best reply ever. Nice and open-ended. Ambiguous. Non-committal. Schweet. :cool:

That's the worst reply ever.

That amount of computations is going to take a LOT more than a billion years.

I'd say somewhere around 10^40 years.
