in the known digits and have it use those to crack the rest? I
understand this process could take a pretty long time but if anyone can
help me out, I'd be really grateful ( and would be less stupid in the

It would be easy to write, and I would be willing to do so for a small
fee, if the information is valuable to you.

It would require going through something on the order of 10,000,000
possible keys to determine the correct one. It may take a month of
computer time or more to find the right key.

Of course it could take much less. Much of this depends on what you can
tell me about the last 5 digits. Are they all lower case? Is it likely
to end in a period? From what alphabet does it come (lower case?, upper
case? punctuation?). Can you order the various characters from least to
most likely?

It would only take me a couple days to turn you out a program to find
your key.

Contact me if you are interested.

Yep, because 1,000 is right before infinity!
