The question needs to be more specific. There are many different types of attacks for finding passwords: social engineering, birthday attack, dictionary attack, man-in-the middle, brute force, etc. etc. etc. The "How" is different for each attack.

Are there color passwords for sonic battle?

no. you either earn them or use a gameshark. the passwords are for "*character name* combo" moves. they're all the same thing: they use the 3 basic attacks of their significant character, and then finish with a stronger attack, varying which character. for example, Sonic combo finishes with a shot attack, while Shadow's finishes with the basic heavy attack (Chaos Nightmare) as far as colors go, though, there are no passwords. passwords are only for combos =(

Which password attack is the least effective?

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!
