Its like, what the hell? Are they clairvoyant or are they hackers? There is no way you can brute force passwords by hand and especially not guess them on 3 tries or something, unless they are extremely lucky. I mean, sure, it happends sometimes. People choose bad passwords or no passwords at all but making it out to be some kind of hackerskill to be mindreading some dude is just silly.
