Do you realize how long that would take?  Your alphabet is 62 characters, and your string length is 12.  12⁶² =~ 8.11x10⁶⁶.  That's an 8 with 66 0's after it.  Let's say it takes 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a second (1/trillianth of a second, clearly unrealistically fast) to check a single value.  To check 8x10⁶⁶ values, that would take:
8x10⁵⁴ seconds
2x10⁴⁷ years

That's right, it would take about 250,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to guess every combination.  I don't think your friend should bother waiting that long to get his items back, since the universe probably won't be alive that long. 

As was said, you'd have more luck with a dictionary file.  I have a 125-mb dictionary that has every word in every language.  If you take those, append/prepend numbers, replace i and o and e with 1 and 0 and 3 in every combination, you'll have a pretty complete set.  It would still probably takes months to go through all that, but at least the Universe will still be around.

Jesus, and I thought downloading on 56k was slow...

Hacking is only somewhat useful in Starcraft...you wouldn't get banned for it, and most hacks don't help you in an automatic win.

He's a guy, I've seen a picture of him like 2 months ago, don't remember where it is.

He probably runs on a script....
