No, someone would have to actually *write* a password cracker that
will be compatible with the software driver.  At this point no one
except me would know how to do it.  And if someone did I'd just change
the password system.

But, while a password feature would be nice, it's just not a priority
right now so it definitely won't make it into the software anytime
soon.
