I just did the math on this the other night.
A 13 charecter password comprised of upper & lower case, numbers and special characters... simply put is 94^13. (94 to the thirteenth power.)
Assuming a brute force attack with one attempt per second, it could take 1.4x10^18 years to crack it. That's longer than the expected life of the Universe. The Universe would end due to heat death before you cracked it.
.
Even if you could parse one billion attempts per second with a super computer... it would still take 1.4 billion years.
