This is an approach I've used quite a few times and never had success with. The premise is that in some cases the password may appear in plain text somewhere on the computer (hidden as a phone number or phrase in an email), obviously this has not been the case for the times I've tried, but it's still worth a go.
Really? That is interesting because I've had many cases in which building a dictionary from an image worked marvelously. In fact, the last time it was the ONLY way I would have gotten the password, as it was a fairly complex and long password. Not only did the suspect slip up and use the same password for his cable bill, he also texted it on his iPhone, which then was backed up to the computer itself. That was a happy, happy day.
