Lost password,need help!

Hi guys this is a long shot but hope someone can help.
I have an account that I am locked out of,the ONLY way I can get back in is by entering my log in details and a 6 digit number.
I had this number written down but now can't find it(I think it might have been in a pocket and got washed!)
Is there any way I could crack this code??

    So is this is a Windows 7 'standard' account, and your password is a six-digit number?

    Do you have an administrator account on that PC which you can log into?
    If so, you can change the password of the account whose password you have lost.

    Sorry for any confusion
    It's not a Windows account,it's an account online,I can't go into more detail on here as its private.
    There is NO other way to get back into this account other than entering the 6 digit number that I've forgotten

    All you can do then is to talk to the technical support of whoever hosts this super secret account and convince them that you are the owner of the account.

    Other than that, I'm sure that GCHQ will be interested! :)
  • There is no technical support...and your right they probably would!

    The code is 498953
  • When I have to think of a six digit number it will always be a date of birth - year first then month

    The date of birth might be the dogs, my deceased dads, my firstborn nephew

    There has to be a number that sprang to your mind when you entered it. It's rare we use a total random

    It wasn't a number I picked,it was a random number assigned to me
