Bochek, how would having 40,000 students on their own computers doing parts of the total change your calculations on solving the password? Personally, it would be the exercise of how to solve the puzzle and not the actual answer that would be more enjoyable, and in the spirit of FIRST.
Assuming it was exactly 15 characters. It would take

79204840687 years for 40,000 average level computers to brute force the password.
