It's pretty common:

It's not like anyone can just crack your bitcoin password. They at least need the wallet password hash, which I have, and unless it's a weak password, they need to have educated guesses as to what the password is (which I do).

Since there are ways to solve these hashes with CPUs and GPUs, there must be a way to use SHA-256 ASIC hardware to solve SHA-256 password hashes much faster than CPUs or GPUs. I just don't know how and am hoping someone here does and can point me in the right direction.
