I was not certain that it was 'aaaaa'. It just seemed likely given human nature and the other possibilities that came up (through the same brute-force method you describe.)

I posted my code in python:

https://github.com/raptor/stars/blob/master/python/util/__in it__.py

This algorithm can be easily broken, however, by going backwards and attempting to divide by all char values with no remainder, then subtracting a another char value, and keep doing that until your left with only an ascii char left. This would be orders of magnitude faster than brute-forcing because the hash is not one-way. The only thing you have to watch out for is the integer overflow, which seems to happen after only 6 or 7 characters in a password.
