Generally the brute force attack is least effective since it has to try all possible combinations and lengths as it guesses possible passwords. Attacks like dictionary attacks are far faster for passwords that are vulnerable since far fewer combinations need to be examined. The strongest passwords can only be cracked using the brute force method and if they are long enough, the length of time necessary to crack them exceeds the length of time that the gaining access to the system would be valuable - and possibly exceed the lifetime of the system!
