If the password is secure, it will take too long to bruteforce since a dictionary attack will fail. I suppose you could use rainbow tables, but even that takes a while and you'll need to lug around a 1TB+ external drive. Its instant if you just use a password remover app.
Of course, all of this is if you have physical access or local admin access to the box. Properly secured boxes are a bit more difficult to compromise.
