The attacker will feed any personal information he has access to about the password creator into the password crackers. A good password cracker will test names and addresses from the address book, meaningful dates, and any other personal information it has. Postal codes are common appendages. If it can, the guesser will index the target hard drive and create a dictionary that includes every printable string, including deleted files. If you ever saved an e-mail with your password, or kept it in an obscure file somewhere, or if your program ever stored it in memory, this process will grab it. And it will speed the process of recovering your password.
All of the above comments are leading me back toward the idea that making password cracking expensive on the server side is in the long run more effective than trying to create ever more passwords to remember with ever higher entropy.
So if this general method is not a good one, and all the cards are stacked in your favor, it should be pretty easy to find out my password. Just go ahead and use your pigeon hole principle to crack it.
As far as guessing passwords, several years ago I bought some equipment from a company hundreds of miles away that had gone out of business. Most of the equipment was new and had never been configured so it had the original default password, but one had been configured. So I was sitting in my laptop at a remote site wondering how easy it would be to guess their password. My first guess was their company name and it worked.
Quick history lesson: The rockyou wordlist is a bunch of passwords gotten from one of the most infamous cybersecurity data breaches that affected a company of the same name. It contains approximately 14 million unique passwords that were used in over 32 million accounts and as such, is one of the most dependable wordlists on the planet.
