Roughly how long to crack it, considering:
(1) You have to know both.
(2) You may only have 5 attempts per hour (assuming IP block and Account block kick in).
(3) Password may change before you find the solution.
(4) There's a good chance if over zealous, your IP is permanently blocked.

The article in your OP is about decrypting an encrypted password, by brute forcing multiple combinations, trying to arrive at the same result as the encrypted password.
The encrypted password is obtained by some other means, so all brute forcing happens locally. It's not the same as brute force login attempts to a remote server.
