The way I understand it, the OP knows the first 15 characters of a 20 
character password.  So it seems to me that a bruteforce of the 
remaining characters shouldn't take very long as five characters isn't 
very strong even if using a large alphabet.  So in this case, it would 
be a lot like the movies!
