It depends how the characters are encoded. If they are ANSI characters and limited to alphanumeric characters only (uppercase, lowercase and digits) then a 5 character password has (26+26+10)^5=916,132,832 permutations. Knowing the number of permutations and the speed of your computer (how many passwords you can generate and test every second) you should be able to work out how many hours it'll take. As an example, at 1,000 passwords per second it'd take 10.6 days using a 62 character alphabet.
