Why not using brute force ? Yes, intruders will surely try it, but a correct security policy will take this sort of 
attack down, by blacklisting 3 or fourth login failure for a determinated time....

Preventing  users from defining simple password and applying a brute force preventing security policy will for sure do 
the rest of the game.......

Otherwise using rainbow table to test passwords might be a good idea... and will take less time
