You realize if you are successful you could brute force ANY BTC wallet whether you had legitimate claim to it or not.
Try breaking the encryption for a wallet you don't have.

First rule of business: Keep savings wallets offline. Forever.
Encryption is only meant to create an economic barrier and give you some time, once you realize that the wallet has been compromised (i.e. uploaded to the internet).
