    You see, you would need to write a script that went away and tried every possible combination of 6 digit numbers.
    Without knowing what this account is, i couldnt determine what the best method to do this would be
    ie using an API, or AJAX/javascript/Python ...
    And again, the server might have a delay on letting you try again after an incorrect password was entered.
    Unless i can see the login page then i cant help

    Are you sure you know what you're doing? How do you know the OP wants to get into HIS account and not someone else's?

    This is a minefield...

    Yes, i appreciate your concern here. I cant really explain due to the OP's request for privacy.
    But i havent provided him with a "hack all" solution, but rather one that is tailored to his particular need.
